- South Indian Saree South India is the leading silk producing area of the country also known for its famous silk weaving enclaves like Kancheepuram, Dharmavaram, Arni, etc. While the temple towns like Kancheepuram are renowned for their magnificent South silk sarees of bright colors, the centers like Bangalore and Mysore are known for their excellent printed silk Sarees from South India. The traditional handloom silks always score over the power loom silks in the richness of their textures and designs, in their individuality, character and classic beauty. Handloom weaving remains a symbol of versatility and creativity of living craft. Today, South Indian silks, especially the handloom products, remain the most beautiful and cherished the world over.
- South Indian Saree has its origin in the town of Kanchipuram near Chennai, which continues to be home to hundreds of weaving centers that specialize in silk sarees that are characteristic to the region. Created in a wide array of colors that contrast well with their gold thread borders, these South Indian sarees can be worn at weddings, parties and social gatherings. Traditional motifs like peacocks, swans, mangoes and leaves continue to be popular. New patterns such as reproductions of paintings and other artistic creations on the elaborate pallus are also seen.
- Silk sarees from South India have very dense zari borders, usually framing plain or micro checked fields. Thick lines of lustrous zari adorn the pallus in typical tribal style. This cloth is now big in fashion for stitching salwaars and suits, so the sarees have made a bit of a re-immergence into the shops, but as usual the longevity of tribal styles hang on a thin line of contention with fashion. Sarees from Andhra Pradesh are a crisp and lightweight cloth, woven with a shiny finish yarn in very fine guage. When worn it is like a soft gossamer cloud about the body. The cloth stands apart not only in its distinct finish, but also in the subtlety and style of it's ornament, often with wide bold zari and threadwork borders. Venkatgiri pallus are generally bold and simple to match the borders, but the high end range has elaborate and heavy zari brocade and bhutties.
- Sarees woven in Andhra Pradesh region near the coast are some of the softest and most comfortable you'll experience. Their simple and tribal style ornament is seen on village women since centuries and the same classic aesthetic continues in a wider range of colors. They feature fine threadwork borders, usually narrow, with pallus ranging from simple stripes and sparce bhutties to elaborate weft ikats. The fields are plain or check with or without bhutties. These are the perfect dance sarees as they are stable and less transparent than many South Cotton Sarees. Their timeless allure is comfortable for everyday wearing.
