Craftsmanship & Origin

Directly sourced from the weaver town of Elampillai near Salem, Tamil Nadu. Known across the region for mastery in jacquard mechanisms, Elampillai artisans weave high-definition borders and rich zari pallus while maintaining a feather-light density across the body of the saree.

Care & Maintenance

Dry clean recommended for the first wash to protect the border zari finish. For subsequent cleaning, hand wash gently in cold water with mild silk detergent. Never brush, wring, or leave soaking. Air dry in the shade and iron on reverse using low temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is "Border Butta" different from "Self Butta"?

In Border Butta, the main body of the saree remains sleek and smooth, while the intricate woven butta motifs are concentrated along the border and pallu. This creates a clean silhouette with a focused festive border highlight.

Is this saree stiff or puffy?

Not at all. Elampillai soft silk is engineered to hug the body contours naturally and sit flat without ballooning or puffing at the pleats.

Does it include a blouse?

Yes, an unstitched 0.8-metre contrast blouse piece with border detailing is included with every saree.
