HAND WOVEN TUSSAH SILK

A lightweight, 100% Tussah silk from India, hand-woven to showcase its natural beauty and smooth, silky texture. Tussah silk, also known as “wild silk” or “Kosa silk,” is produced by wild silkworms, primarily Antheraea mylitta and Antheraea proylei, that thrive in the forests of India and Southeast Asia. Unlike mulberry silk, which comes from domesticated silkworms, Tussah silk has a more rustic, natural appearance and is known for its durability and eco-friendly qualities. This fabric is perfect for creating elegant tops, dresses, blouses, and shirts, with its shiny, smooth finish adding a touch of luxury to any garment. Tussah silk is revered for its sustainability, as it is produced using wild silkworms in natural environments.
