Crafted in ingenious weaving tradition using Muga spun silk, the intricate patterns on the pallu and border, showcasing the Mokardamá phul, are the most remarkable aspect of this masterpiece. Mokardamá is a traditional design believed to bring success.
Muga spun silk is made from short lengths obtained from damaged Muga cocoons or broken off during processing, twisted together to make yarn, carded and spun.

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.
