Sky Blue and Gold Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Saree with Sonarupa Vairaoosi Oosivaanam Stripes zk-kv-mb The zari woven borders andThe Vairaoosi is Kanchipuram weaving at its most meditative fine needle like zari lines woven continuously across the body, producing a delicate all over shimmer that no butta or grid can quite replicate. In this sky blue Kanjeevaram, those lines are woven in Sonarupa: the rare combination of gold and silver zari together, the warmth of gold and the cool of silver alternating across the body in the traditional Oosivaanam vertical stripe formation.
