Handwoven Eri Silk With Ghisa Motif Shawl

The cultivation and weaving of wild silk are rooted in the life and culture of the people of North East India, especially in the state of Assam in India. From the various types of silk of Assam, the rather unknown Eri silk is particularly fascinating, as it is processed without killing the silkworm. Commonly silk cocoons are boiled with the worm inside to maintain one continuous filament, which results in a smooth and shiny fabric. Interestingly the eri silkworm spins short segments of a filament and creates a cocoon that is open at one end – enabling the moth to emerge. This peace silk is, therefore, a very popular fibre among vegans and Buddhists.

Product colour may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources. Some products and colours also tend to look slightly brighter in photos as the camera lens always highlights certain colours more.

Also, our products are truly handcrafted and hand made. Slight irregularities in motifs, texture, and colour are a part of handcrafted products and that's what makes it special. Please also understand that handcrafted products are not mass produced but made in batches, hence slight variation in colour, shade, motif in each batch is natural due to the human involvement in the process.

However, if the product has a genuine quality/manufacturing defect then we are open to extending full refund or re-fulfilling your order.
