The 'Moon' Natural Eri Peace Silk Scarf

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 Eri silk cloth is a completely handmade artisan product, crafted by Kaushik, a third generation of rearers, who hails from the tribal 'Borah' community, nurturing his small dreams in a remote village called 'Phalpur' in Assam. Twenty women from a self-help group gather around post noon, to do the 'Chunai', or sorting of these empty cocoons. The methods used by the locals are environment-friendly and sustainable. The indigenous women in the Assamese household are willing to invest their time in making these ageless beauties, as a way to embrace their culture, to follow the pace of life and to pass on the craft to the younger generation. Each piece has taken at least a week to produce, excluding the harvesting and printing by our artists Ali bhai, Deepak and Bachchu. Each piece is ethical, produced in a small batch, and truly a fabric with a soul!
