TRADITIONAL KANJEEVARAM SILK SAREES

Kanjeevaram is famous for making silk sarees and many families in kanchivaram are mainly dependant on this weaving small scale industry.In private sector there are more than 200 manufacturers and they procure sarees from independent weavers and export them to other cities in India and also to foreign countries.Before purchasing a kanchivaram saree analyse the pros and cons of the saree and know how to maintain the saree.

THIS SAREE WAS BOUGHT FROM RMKV TIRUNELVELI IN TAMILNADU.LIGHT PISTA GREEN WITH DARK BROWN PALLU. The above sari is a perfect example of traditional kanchipuram sari. Most ppl buy this colour for wedding for the bride as it is considered lucky

Sarees are the elegant and the sexiest outfit for Indian women. A lady looks very graceful and elegant in a saree.There are wide range of sarees in different materials and designs and work. The designer crepe,georgette and chiffons are popular these days and when it comes to a formal occassion my personal choice definitely would be traditional sarees specially kanchivaram sarees.One can choose kanchivaram sarees as per their own taste.The variety ranges from simple,elegant sarees to a very grand saree and the price range vary with the zari work in the saree. A simple saree with minimum zari work will cost any where between 3000 to 4500 INR, and the maximum range goes beyond 60,000 and sky is the limit.But one can definitely buy a good elegant saree with price range anywhere between 5000 to 10,000INR.Nowadays one can buy a plain kanchivaram saree without any zari work and one can design as per their taste.There are ladies in Chennai to design these kind of sarees as per their customer's choice.One can customize these plain sarees with kundan,zardoshi or any other design one prefer.But my personal choice would be the traditional kanchivaram saree with it's zari work.They have their own grace.There are kanchivaram silk skirts available for cute little girls and teenage girls.If you have a girl baby you should definitely try these skirts and I swear your child will look like goddess lakshmi in this outfit.Teenage girls can wear half saree and blouse with kanjivaram silk skirt when they go for a formal function and can wear simple gold bangles, a choker and a pair of jhumkas and can wear asimple tikka(netthi chutti), definitely you will get loads of compliments for sure.For ladies wearing saree they can wear traditionalstonned necklace like ruby,emerald and blue sapphire to match your saree or there are wide range of 1 gram gold ornaments available in the market and you can choose from that according to your budget.I will give a list of names of shops from wher you can purchase good kanchivaram sarees,gold jewellery and artificial and one gram jewellery.

*Remember to check out the silk mark before purchasing kanchivaram sarees. VERY TRADITIONAL COLOUR AND ANNAM IN THE BORDER AND PALLU,MY MOM'S FAVOURITE.
The sarees above are some of my favourites among the wide range of collection I have.
