Textile Story

Our tussar silk is woven by a handloom cluster in West Bengal, where the craft has been passed down through generations. Tussar, known as “wild silk,” comes from silkworms that feed on forest leaves, giving the fibre its natural texture and characteristic depth. The yarn is reeled and prepared by hand before being woven on pit looms in a weaving society.

Because tussar silk - which comes from different species of silkworms than the more commercialised and cultivated mulberry silk -  is less uniform, it requires patience and sensitivity at the loom. Bengal artisans work with its natural irregularities, allowing the gentle slubs and subtle shifts in tension to form part of the cloth’s character. The result is a fabric with a quiet, earthy beauty; breathable, textured, and distinct to each maker.

Every piece of handloom tussar silk carries the imprint of its origin: forest-grown fibres, traditional skills, and the steady rhythm of human hands. Any variations or irregularities are to be celebrated. They are part of the design & inherent to the handcrafted production process, making this item beautifully unique.
