Aruni - Dual Tone Pink and Crimson Handloom Kanchipuram Silk Cotton Saree
Embrace timeless grace with Aruni, our handloom Kanchipuram silk-cotton saree in pink-crimson hues that mirror the first light of dawn touched with temple grandeur. Woven from the finest silk and cotton, this saree feels feather-light yet radiates a soft, luminous sheen. Aruni drapes with effortless elegance, embodying the serene charm and divine sophistication of an awakening sunrise.
Saree Body: The radiant dual shade body is adorned with sporadically arranged "Kamalam buttas" in metallic gold zari, sparkling like tiny stars across the saree’s drape, creating a subtle and enchanting shimmer.
Saree Border: Features "Retta Pettu borders" on both sides in a striking emerald green hue, adorned with traditional metallic gold zari motifs arranged in recurring bands. The bands showcase alternating "Pavunupet, Diamond, and Star motifs (reminiscent of Aztec patterns)," elegantly enclosed within strips. These strips are further enhanced with delicate petite "Paisleys and Mayil Kann motifs", while "triangle motifs (Maadam Butta)" along the flanks add charm and a medium-crimson selvedge complete the border’s luxurious, heritage-inspired appeal.
Saree Pallu: The pallu reflects the elegance of the borders, featuring recurrent bands of "Pavunupet, Diamond, and Star motifs", framed with "Mayil Kann (diamond-shaped with central dot) motifs" and flanked by delicate leaf anklets. The highlight of the pallu is a majestic, "symmetrically ornate Tree of Life motif, gracefully nestled within a delicate scalloped frame", a mesmerizing symbol of eternal growth and harmony. Its roots cradle "two outward-facing parrots (kili motifs)," embodying love, protection, and unity. "The tree rises gracefully with intricately branching limbs, adorned with blossoms, leaves, and tiny buds" that shimmer subtly in metallic zari, evoking a sense of abundance and life’s continual renewal. This divine motif not only adds grandeur but transforms the pallu into a poetic celebration of nature, tradition, and timeless artistry.
Saree Blouse: The saree comes with a dual shade of prink-crimson blouse, simple yet refined, featuring a contrast border that mirrors the saree’s design, completing the ensemble with subtle sophistication.

COTTON CARE
• It is advisable to only dry-clean our Sarees. Use mild detergent to hand wash Cotton Sarees.
WASH, DRY & IRON PURE SILK THE RIGHT WAY
• For first three washes, dry cleaning is advisable for silk fabrics.
• If ever silk is washed in water, ensure it is washed in soft lukewarm water using a good neutral soap only.
• Squeeze lightly by hand to remove water after washing.
• Always dry the silk in shade only on a flat surface instead of hanging.
• Use low to medium heat while ironing.
• Always iron silk on the reverse side.
• Never spray water to dampen silk before ironing as it may cause water spots on the fabric.
• Do not wash the stains with water, instead give it for dry cleaning.
STORE PURE SILKS THE RIGHT WAY
• Store your Silk in a clean and dry environment using Cotton bags; avoid plastic covers.
• Avoid direct contact with wood.
• Protect silk from insects, dust, excessive moisture and light.
• Periodically (every 3-6 months) expose silks to fresh air and store after reversing the folds.
• Wrap Silk Sarees in cotton cloth or brown paper to avoid blackening of zari.
• Instead of Naphthalene balls, keep silica gel sachets in storage racks.
