This Rexona green Kanchipuram pure silk saree wears a colour with a very South Indian name: the cool, soapy green that saree shops across Tamil Nadu named after the old Rexona soap bar. Ask for "Rexona" at any silk counter in Kanchipuram and this is the shade that comes off the shelf.
What sets this piece apart is that the border is Rexona green too. Most Kai Korvai sarees use the technique to join a contrast border to the body; here the weaver has interlocked border and body by hand in the same green, so the border shows itself through its pattern rather than a change of colour. That pattern is chakkara poo (சக்கரப் பூ) – literally "wheel flower", a round, spoked bloom – while the body carries a multi-flower design.
Depending on where your family is from, you may call this a Kanjivaram or Kanjeevaram saree, or simply Kanchi pattu. The spelling changes; the handloom silk of Kanchipuram does not.

What colour is Rexona green?
A green on the cool side, away from the yellow of parrot green and the depth of bottle green. Screens vary, so if you are matching it to jewellery or a partner's outfit, message us and we will describe it against something you own.
Does it come with a blouse?
Yes. The matching silk blouse piece is woven onto the saree and arrives unstitched, ready for your tailor.
