Fabric description

Its beautiful natural fabric is native to the Indian state of West Bengal: a true product of artisanal craftsmanship, hand-spun and hand-woven using a mix of wild silk threads from the empty cocoons. The variety of yarns used brings the fabric's texture to life resulting in a fabric that possesses a unique character.

These fibres are in Ahimsa (peace) quality which means non-violent, allowing the metamorphosis of the silkworm to a butterfly to be completed without killing the animal.
