Arnavi - Handloom Lakshadeepam Kanchi Silk Cotton Saree with Kalakshetra Kili pallu
Distinctive in character and rich in heritage, Arnavi is our signature Handloom Lakshadeepam Kanchipuram Silk Cotton Saree, featuring the iconic Kalakshetra Kili pallu. Drenched in a deep, intense magenta that evokes both warmth and richness, Arnavi blends traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Crafted from a harmonious blend of pure mulberry silk and premium cotton, it offers a soft, fluid drape that’s as luxurious to wear as it is to behold - perfect for festive gatherings and cherished celebrations. Delicate metallic gold zari lends a subtle shimmer, catching the light with every movement, while the intricately woven motifs speak to the mastery and devotion woven into every thread.
Saree Body: The body is a celestial canvas adorned with petite "muthu motifs" in luminous gold zari, set within the classic "muthu kattam checks." This delicate interplay of light and pattern evokes a constellation in motion, glowing softly as the saree moves. It captures the subtle grandeur of night skies and timeless storytelling.
Saree Border: Framed in a striking misty moss green with a subtle hint of magenta, the border exudes understated elegance. The captivating "korvai retta pett" style lends depth and character, while delicate bands of gold zari shimmer with intricately woven "paisley floral kodi visiri motifs, nestled within refined muthu-seer lines". At the juncture where the border meets the body, subtle "pearly purple Moplah sections glisten with gold zari muthu-seer lines" and intricate "paisley anklet motifs", enhancing the richness of the design. The entire border gleams with a charm as enchanting and luminous as a starlit sky.
Saree Pallu: The Kalakshetra Kili pallu unveils the saree’s grandeur in full. With rhythmic bands of "Rudraksham" and "Andal Kili" motifs framed by graceful "kodi visiri" patterns, it moves like poetry woven in silk. Finished with "paisley anklets" along the edges, the pallu brings balance and flow, shimmering with every movement and leaving a trail of quiet opulence.
Saree Blouse: The accompanying unstitched blouse in deep magenta mirrors the saree’s richness, framed with a misty moss green border that reflects the saree's border. Subtle zari accents add refined elegance, completing the ensemble in a harmony of tone and texture.

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.
