Easily one of the most reputed Saree’s to ever exist, the Kanchipuram Silk Saree, or simply a Kanjeevaram comes from the little town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. Weaved on a handloom by some of the finest artisans, the saree is highly valued for its mastery in design and for its high quality of silk and zari. Four pure silk threads are twisted to make a single yarn of thread, the count of the threads in the weft may vary between 200 to 3000, making this one of the most high quality silk to ever exist. The zari in this saree is made by dipping single silk threads in pure silver and then in gold lacquer. A Kanchipuram Silk Saree is valued as a special occasion saree, which can be preserved for a lifetime. Due to its purity and high silk thread count, the Kanjeevaram is slightly thicker, stiffer and longer than your regular saree. The pleats of these saree’s sit neat and crisp on the shoulder and around the waist. Ideal for special and formal occasions, a Kanchipuram Silk Saree is timeless and can be draped to suit any age.
