The sari is handwoven with tremendous enthusiasm by our enterprising, creative team on our loom in Kanchipuram. The sari exhibits a rare lustrous shade uranium yellow shade enclosed within pinkish yellow borders. The delicate gold star and diamond motifs woven along the borders magnify the beauty of this drape. The sari concludes with gold star motifs scattered around, which adds a celestial touch to the overall appearance.
The blouse, matched in the same shade as the sari, completes the ensemble. With this drape, one can feel like a star, shining brightly and beautifully, similar to the colors seen on images of Ring Nebula, also known as Messier 57, is more than 2,000 light years away, in the Lyra Constellation.
Dimensions:
- Length - 5.5 meters
- Width - 1.27 meters
- Blouse - 0.74 meter
- Weight - 673 gms
- Woven with Pure mulberry silk - 2-ply warp, 4-ply weft and gold zari
- Garment care: Take care of your garment, for these are heirloom pieces that can be passed across generations. We recommend gently hand-washing these sarees in cool water with mild detergent. Shade dry these sarees & avoid drying them under direct sunlight. The sari may then be steam-pressed for the finish.
Each Parvai saree is woven in Kanchipuram in our looms. All materials, including the zari, are sourced ethically & tested for purity. This allows us to control the quality of our sarees from design to finish. We wish for every Parvai Kanchipuram to help restore the dignity & pride of the highly skilled weavers of this area and, in the process, lead to a better understanding & appreciation of the weave.

"Do you ever wonder who made your clothes? If you don't do it yet, it is about time you did. Often, handmade products are made at the cost of slave labour and inhuman working conditions.
At Parvai, we ensure our process does not directly or indirectly support such practices, pay artisans their due & take pride in ensuring our products do not come at the cost of someone else's misery. Each saree is he, once truly a labour of love. Our Kanchipuram silks are woven at our looms fully supervised by Parvai's team from design to finish."
- Designed by: Ane Thomas
- Executed by: Nikhil Kumaran
- Dyers: Thaygarajan and his team of 2 dyers
- Preloom Preparations: Nearly six people are involved in warping and sizing.
- Petni: Mala and Shanti
- Woven by Dhanasekar
To us, Kanchipuram silks are much more than motifs and colour combinations. Parvai's Kanchipuram silks are cleverly constructed to ensure the saree does not weigh down the wearer but feels like a royal. That is why our sarees focus heavily on texture, structure & construction. With time and age, the saree gets lighter and softer. Our humble attempt is to open your mind to the value of silk, the beauty of constructing a comfortably luxurious heavier ply, and appreciate the technical nuances of a highly evolved art form.
