Description

The Tussar Silk weaving industry in India boasts a rich heritage spanning over a century. This unique silk is produced by wild silkworms that thrive in the forests of northern India, making it a truly natural and sustainable fibre.

Renowned for its rich texture and distinctive deep gold colour, Tussar silk stands apart with its beautiful, natural sheen. The silk cocoons are carefully dried in the sun before the fibres are spun, preserving the silk’s inherent beauty.

Compared to cultivated silks like Mulberry silk, Tussar silk features shorter fibres, resulting in a more textured finish that adds a rustic elegance to garments, furnishings, and textiles. Its luxurious feel and natural tones make it highly sought-after for both traditional and contemporary designs.

Care Guide

Dry Clean Only: To preserve the rich texture and natural sheen of Tussar silk, dry cleaning is the safest and most effective method.

Gentle Hand Wash (If Necessary): For occasional cleaning, gently hand wash in cold water using a mild, silk-friendly detergent. Avoid scrubbing or wringing the fabric to prevent damage to its fibres.

Do Not Bleach: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can weaken the silk fibres and affect the natural gold colour.

Air Dry in Shade: Lay the fabric flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may cause fading or dulling of the silk’s natural tones.

Cool Iron: Use a low-heat setting and iron on the reverse side to protect the silk’s surface. Place a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric to maintain its natural sheen.

Store with Care: Store Tussar silk items in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Wrap in muslin or a breathable fabric to prevent discolouration or damage. Avoid using plastic covers, as silk needs to breathe.
