Silk

The history of Silk goes back to 4,500 years. Today the most popular silk is mulberry but then there are also wild varieties of silk known as tassar, munga and eri.

There is a wide range of silk fabrics depending on the weight, manufacturing technique and peculiarities. The more popular are taffetas, crepes, chiffons, twills, satins, brocades and damasks.

In many varieties, the fabric is woven with grey yarn and then dyed and in others, the yarn may be dyed before the fabric is woven.

Silk has different uses like, women’s & men’s lingerie, garments - both for men and women, scarves, ties and interior decoration like furnishing, curtains and cushion covers.

Silk is rightly called the queen of textiles because of its lustre, sensuousness and glamour. In India, silk has a special significance and is considered a pure fabric — a must for special occasions.
