GACHI TUSSAR SAREE WITH WOVEN SEQUIN

14,000

Handspun Tussar silk, also known as ‘Gachi Tussar’, is a beautiful and unique variation of Tussar silk, celebrated for its coarse, textured feel and natural golden sheen. This fabric is crafted by hand-spinning Tussar yarn, giving it a rich, uneven texture that machine-spun silk cannot replicate. The handspinning process requires immense skill and patience, often undertaken by artisans who carry forward generations-old traditions. Gachi Tussar is breathable, lightweight, and has a natural, earthy appeal, often left undyed to preserve its organic color. Widely used in sarees, scarves, and ethnic wear, this eco-friendly silk embraces slow fashion and sustainable practices, supporting rural artisans and preserving India’s artisanal heritage.
