Orange Shikara Pure Kanjivaram Silk x Hand Embroidery

From the workshops of Kanchipuram comes this Orange Shikara Pure Kanjivaram Silk Kanjivaram x Zardozi and Cutdana in Rust — curated by Palkhe by Palkhi Sarees, Mumbai's most trusted name in handcrafted Indian weaves since 1991. A piece that honours the living traditions of India's finest weavers.

Kanjivaram silk is woven on the sacred handlooms of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — a craft that dates back over a thousand years. Recognised by its extraordinary weight, temple-inspired motifs, and a lustre that deepens with every wear, the Kanjivaram is widely regarded as the queen of Indian silks. Each saree takes several days to weave and is a lifelong investment.

The Peacock Box running through this piece is a weave pattern of remarkable intricacy — a design that requires exceptional skill to execute and creates a visual effect that is entirely distinctive. Heavy pallu.

Zardozi — the imperial embroidery of Mughal courts — is worked entirely by hand using heavy gold and silver threads, metal sequins, and precious stones. A single Zardozi piece can take weeks to complete, each motif built up in layers of metalwork that creates a raised, three-dimensional effect of extraordinary richness.
