Description
A premium reversible handwoven Tussar silk fabric with a rich wild silk texture, visible herringbone structure, and two beautifully usable faces. At approx. 220 GSM, this fabric has a substantial yet wearable body, making it suitable for statement garments, structured separates, and luxury textile projects.
One side has a darker black / deep indigo tone, while the reverse shows a warmer natural gold / beige Tussar shade, giving the fabric a refined two-sided character.
How it’s made:
This fabric is handwoven using Tussar silk, also known as wild silk, in a textured herringbone-style weave. Tussar silk is naturally known for its dry handfeel, uneven yarn character, slubs, and soft golden undertone. The reversible construction allows both sides of the fabric to be used creatively for contrast cuffs, collars, panels, facings, and exposed seams.
