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 peacock is a much-loved motif in South Indian textiles and stands for beauty and grace. Kattam is the traditional Tamil word for checks, a classic body design in Kanchipuram sarees.

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