Parvai Kanchipuram Silk Sari : Shringa

Shringa | Handwoven Kancheepuram Silk Sari

This Shringa is a Parvai original that explores the classic tall border traditional Kancheepuram silk sari. The rich blue body features black stripes and large checks outlined in fine zari, Broad Blue contrast borders carry a finer checked pattern, framed on either side by traditional Reku detailing. The  blue pallu is distinguished by a prominent central zari band, bringing together the presence of the spectacular blue and geometric elements of the design.

Woven in pure mulberry silk using 2 Ply 20/22 denier karnataka Mulberry silk and 4 Ply 20/22 denier Karnataka Mulberry Silk. The sari measures 5.5 meters by 50 inch, weighs approximately 780 grams and includes 1 meter continuation blouse 

Shringa has a strong, architectural presence, with its broad borders giving definition to the silhouette and the checked body creating a measured visual rhythm. The silk's [weight and texture] lends substance to the pleats, allowing them to fall in structured folds. The contrasting maroon pallu brings depth and movement to the drape, while its central zari band creates a distinct visual accent over the shoulder. A sari particularly suited to occasions where traditional colour contrasts and woven detail can be appreciated.

Designed by Ane Thomas and woven by Krishnaveni & Mariappan in Kancheepuram, Shringa involves approximately 28 days of pre-loom preparation and 23 days of weaving.
