Maroon Gold Butta Kanjeevaram Silk Saree

Every South Indian silk chest has one maroon Kanjeevaram, and it is usually the most-worn saree in it. This is that saree: deep, lustrous maroon scattered with gold paisley buttas — the mango motif that has run through Kanchipuram weaving for centuries — bordered in self-toned gold that never competes with the body. Tested gold zari, medium weight, pleats that fall straight and stay. From the House of Seematti's own selection, it goes to weddings, temple visits and Deepavali mornings alike, and looks equally right at all three. The definition of a lifetime silk.
