It is a heavier, tighter cotton than most, which is why it holds a crisp pleat instead of collapsing, and why it softens with every wash rather than wearing thin. The body and the border are woven in different colours on the same loom, not stitched together afterwards. Run your thumb along where the two meet when it arrives: you will feel the weave change, not a seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain deep purple body, left almost entirely open, with one large mango motif worked in gold and silver near the pallu end. The border is copper, edged by a gold line and a set of fine purple stripes. Most of the saree is quiet, which is what makes the single motif read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure cotton, so it breathes through a Delhi summer. The restraint is the point here, and purple against copper is an unusual pairing that photographs well. Pair it with copper, gold or plain black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Chettinad handloom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Chettinad (Karaikudi), Tamil Nadu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric: Pure handloom cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Deep purple with copper border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotifs: One large gold and silver mango motif, gold border line, plain body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 550 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 6.5 m including blouse piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandwoven, so slight irregularities in the weave and motif spacing are natural and not defects.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tanjore Silks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49229506838628,"sku":"TS-CH-DPR-01","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/1048\/4580\/files\/deep-purple-saree-copper-border-front.png?v=1789054724","url":"https:\/\/tanjoresilks.com\/products\/deep-purple-chettinad-cotton-saree-copper-border-mango-motif","provider":"Tanjore Silks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
