A marvelous Eri silk saree in rose pink showcasing Mishing tribal motifs on the palla and geometric motifs on the body of the saree. A testament to the skill of our master weavers, this is a stunning piece of handloom art!
The Mishing or Misíng, also called Miri, are the largest tribal group in North-East India. They are East Asian, or more specifically, a Southeast Asian sub-race of the Mongoloid race. It's not known exactly where they migrated from, but it is popularly believed that they were dwellers of the hills of present day Arunachal Pradesh. This explains the cultural and linguistic similarities they have with many tribes in Arunachal Pradesh.

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.
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.
Disclaimer: Product colour may slightly vary due to photographic lighting sources or your monitor setting.
