Kriti - Handloom Kanchi Silk Cotton Saree with Zari Pallu and Corner Buttas
Experience the grandeur of Kriti, a handwoven Kanchi Silk Cotton saree where tradition meets elegance. In a rich purple iris shade, this saree is crafted from pure silk and fine cotton, enhanced with luxurious gold zari details. Every fold reflects the artistry of Kanchipuram’s master weavers through delicate corner buttas and intricate geometric patterns. Whether worn for grand celebrations or quiet gatherings, Kriti embodies timeless beauty and grace.
Saree Body: The body of the Kriti saree is a masterpiece of understated elegance, adorned with vertically woven "peacock motifs" arranged in a hypnotic half-repeat pattern. Crafted in radiant gold zari, these motifs catch the light effortlessly, creating a shimmering contrast against the glowing fabric that enhances the saree’s graceful flow and timeless charm.
Saree Border: Traditional 5.5 inch "Gatti borders" frame this saree on both sides, resplendent with "Kuyil Kann motifs", gracefully enclosed within "Muthu Seer bands" in gold zari. The dark raspberry pink "selvedge" adds a bold contrast, enhancing the saree’s majestic appeal while perfectly complementing its rich, regal palette.
Saree Pallu: A breathtaking cascade of gold zari unfolds in this scintillating pallu, where artistry and tradition seamlessly intertwine. The highlight of the pallu is its exquisite "Interlocked Paisley Corner Buttas", woven at the intersection of the body and the pallu. These striking, corner buttas enclose intricate motifs, including "florals and peacock motifs", meticulously arranged at a captivating 45-degree angle, a true testament to masterful craftsmanship.
The pallu features a series of ornamental bands, each adding to its grandeur. One band showcases horizontally aligned, ornate "Elephant and Peacock motifs in a rhythmic Kodi Visiri pattern", while another is adorned with "Anna Pakshi motifs", gracefully divided by "chevron pillars", creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The divided field of the pallu is further embellished with "Kuyil Kann" motifs (diamond patterns without a central dot), enhancing its allure. Encasing all the bands are "Rudraksha butta bands", which, in turn, are enclosed by "Muthu Seer" lines, adding depth and grandeur to the design. Finally, the entire pattern is flanked by "Arai Podigi" (temple tower motifs), that lend a divine and mesmerizing touch to this exquisite creation.
Saree Blouse: Completing this luxurious ensemble is an unstitched silk cotton blouse in a matching purple iris color, echoing the saree’s elegance. The borders mirror the saree’s intricate weaves, ensuring a seamless, harmonious drape that radiates 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.
