Why Choose Kanjivaram Pattu Sarees?
Pattu Kanjivarams are special because they combine tradition, durability, and elegance in one saree. Here's what makes them stand out:
- Pure Silk Weaving: Made with the finest mulberry silk threads for a lustrous finish.
- Broad Zari Borders: Gold and silver zari woven into temple, peacock, or floral designs.
- Rich Colours: Deep maroons, fiery reds, golds, and purples remain wedding favourites.
- Long-lasting: With proper care, these sarees last for decades, often becoming treasured heirlooms.
For brides, these sarees are as essential as our bridal Kanjivaram range and muhurtham sarees designed for auspicious ceremonies.
Styling Tips
A pattu saree is naturally grand, but a few styling touches can make it even more memorable:
- Pair with traditional blouses from our blouse collection - gold, maroon, or green are timeless choices.
- For weddings, temple jewellery is a perfect match, while pearls or diamonds suit receptions.
- Families often style together - men in silk dhotis and girls in pavadai sets to complement the bride.
- For modern brides, lighter pastel tones styled like our fancy sarees add a refreshing twist.
Care Tips
Since Kanjivaram Pattu sarees are woven with zari, caring for them ensures they remain bright and strong:
- Dry clean only - avoid washing at home.
- Wrap the saree in muslin or cotton before storing.
- Refold occasionally to prevent creases on zari borders.
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
If you want sarees that are easier to handle daily, try our soft silk sarees or silk cotton sarees.
