NATURAL DYED ERI-TUSSAR SILK SAREE WITH ZARI BORDER

Tussar and Eri silk are two of India’s most cherished handloom textiles, celebrated for their distinct qualities and eco-friendly production processes. Tussar silk, also known as “wild silk,” is produced from the larvae of silkworms living in forest trees, which lends it a rich, natural golden hue and a lightweight, airy texture perfect for warmer climates. Eri silk, often called the “peace silk,” is unique because it is harvested without killing the silkworm, aligning with sustainable and ethical practices. This silk has a soft, woolly texture and is naturally more durable, making it ideal for both apparel and home textiles. Both Tussar and Eri reflect India’s deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage.
