The Weave

Handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, in lustrous mulberry silk with real zari — the borders and pallu woven separately and interlocked by hand, the join that gives a Kanjeevaram its weight and permanence.

The Mood

Ceremonial and rooted — the saree of temple mornings, weddings, and heirlooms passed down.

Best For

  • Weddings
  • Festivals
  • Temple visits
  • Heirloom gifting

Caring for Kalamkari

Dry-clean only. Store folded in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from direct light; refold along new lines every few months so the zari never creases in one place.

About this piece

Charcoal grey hand-drawn and hand-painted Pen Kalamkari saree featuring intricate floral vines and heritage-inspired medallions that beautifully narrate timeless Indian artistry. The body is adorned with exquisite hand-drawn and hand-painted motifs in vibrant shades of turquoise, mustard, crimson, and ivory, with majestic peacock and elephant medallions lending a regal touch. The striking contrast vermilion red border is accentuated with traditional woven zari stripes and delicate green highlights, creating a rich visual balance. The pallu continues the artistic narrative with coordinated detailing, while the blouse comes in matching contrast vermilion red with an elegant woven border. Every motif is first hand-drawn and then meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, making each saree a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that celebrates the rich legacy of authentic Pen Kalamkari. Note: As this is an authentic hand-drawn and hand-painted Pen Kalamkari saree, slight variations in brushstrokes, line work, colours, and other natural imperfections are an inherent part of the craft. These are not defects but the true beauty and signature of genuine handcrafted artistry, ensuring that no two sarees are ever exactly alike. You may also notice a mild natural milk aroma, as the fabric undergoes a traditional milk treatment before the artwork begins. This is an integral part of the authentic Pen Kalamkari process and the fragrance fades naturally over time.

A few questions people usually ask
Is stitching included in the price?
No, stitching is optional. Tick the Add blouse stitching & fall-pico option above (+ ₹ 2,500) if you'd like us to tailor it. Without it, the saree ships with an un-stitched blouse piece ready for your own tailor.
How is my blouse stitched to fit?
If you add stitching, we'll message you on WhatsApp for your measurements after payment. Our in-house tailor stitches to your size and hems the fall & pico — adds 3–4 working days before dispatch.
When will it reach me?
We confirm the dispatch timeline with you before you pay. Blouse stitching & fall-pico adds 3–4 working days before dispatch. After that, courier time in India is 1–3 business days after dispatchremote PIN codes may take slightly longer. We share tracking on WhatsApp the moment it leaves us.

If it arrives damaged or with a defect, inspect on delivery and tell us within 48 hours of delivery with photographs — once approved, we coordinate the return at our expense, and you choose an exchange for the same or a comparable piece, or a full refund.
