The borders of Kanchipuram silk are mostly woven in contrasting shades. One weaver weaves at the right side of the shuttle while at the same time the other weaver weaves the saree from the left shuttle. The Kanchipuram sarees are woven using three shuttles.

The luxurious weaves, soft fabric, classic sheen, and embellished zari work put the saree on a pedestal. Kanchipuram silk exudes a royal vibe and enthralls every generation.

The weaving of Kanchipuram silk sarees started around 400 years ago in the small temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu.
