Chestnut Tussar Peace Silk 3 in 1 Cape

Material: 100% Natural Tussar Peace silk

Handfeel: Light-mid weight, crisp, porous and rich texture, beautifully slubbed. Deep Natural Gold sheen that lends a lot of character, the more you wear and own them, the softer and more endearing they become.

Properties: Tussar silk is cooler than the other varieties of silk, as it is a lot more porous, therefore, breathable. It is light, airy and comfortable. The silk from this Natural fibre is readily biodegradable after serving its full lifecycle, and thus has low environmental impact.

Care:

• Dry cleaning is the safest option.
• Gentle steam iron on the reverse side.
• Do not wrap in plastic, as silk needs to breathe

100% made in India

Our Tussar silk cloth is a completely handmade artisan product, made by Ravi and his family, who've been weaving silk for the last three generations. They nurture their small dreams in a remote village called 'Bhagaiya'. His mother, 'Shivrani Devi' wakes up in the wee hours of the morning, to remove the fibers from empty cocoons. Soon 'Dadi' (grandmother) takes over by gathering the yarns, and then 'Shanikumar' his brother, spins them by hand using the time-honoured 'Charkha' or the spinning wheel. Finally, to the most treasured part, where Ravi's father 'Shivshankar Ram' breathes life into the Ahimsa using the ancient heritage wooden loom. Each piece has taken at least a week to produce, excluding the harvesting and printing by our artists Ali Bhai, Deepak and Bachchu.
