Kanchipuram (Kanjivaram) silk sarees come from the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, home to one of South India’s best-known weaving traditions. The style is recognised by its rich silk body, bold contrast borders and pallus, and fine zari work. A hallmark of the tradition is korvai weaving, where the body and the border are woven separately and then interlocked, so the contrast border sits firmly with the body.

The rettai pettu (double border) style gives the saree a bold, layered border. Brocade weaving creates raised, richly patterned areas, usually on the pallu and border, that catch the light.

Each Myllu Silks saree is handpicked by our founder for its weave, colour, texture and durability.
