A handloom delight, this Muga silk saree forms an enticing base for the elegant mogor (paisley) motifs woven all over the body.
Crafted in ingenious weaving tradition using natural Eri silk as design yarn, the design sensibility and the poetic beauty of the intricate detailing are the most remarkable aspect of this handwoven masterpiece.
Historically donned by the royal families of Assam, Muga silk is the perfect piece for a rich and regal look. Indigenous to Assam, Muga silk is recognised by its characteristic golden sheen and richness. It is also one of the most expensive silks in the world. Being expensive, however, has no bearing on its popularity as Muga remains one of the most desired silks across the globe.
This is a handwoven piece, unevenness in the selvedge and weave could be expected.

Care Instructions:
-
Dry clean only.
-
Store your Assam silk saree in the breathable cotton dustbag we provide with your purchase.
-
Avoid exposure to moisture as zari tends to react to weather changes.
-
Air your Assam silk saree from time to time and re-fold to avoid creasing at the same place for an extended period of time.
- Use dry iron when necessary, do not steam.
We use both natural/plant-based and azo-free commercial dyes with the goal of minimising our impact on the environment while striving for the best colour properties. An irregular weave is not a defect - handloom by definition means uncertainty when it comes to uniformity.
