Description
This elegant handwoven Tussar silk fabric is crafted from wild silk fibers, known for their natural texture, subtle slubs, and warm, organic sheen. Unlike glossy cultivated silk, Tussar has a softly matte finish with a richly tactile surface that reflects its wild, forest-grown origins.
Woven slowly on traditional looms, the fabric carries gentle variations in weave and tone, giving it a living, handcrafted character. The silk fibers breathe beautifully, keeping the fabric cool and comfortable in warm climates while still offering enough body for structured garments.
At 190 GSM, this fabric strikes the perfect balance between lightness and substance. It drapes fluidly but retains enough structure for tailoring, making it ideal for dresses, blouses, tunics, jackets, scarves, and refined home décor.
The natural tone and slubbed texture make this an excellent base for hand embroidery, surface design, and natural dyeing.
