Tussar Silk : It is a luxurious fabric woven from the silk produced by silkworms that feed on oak and juniper leaves. What sets it apart is its natural golden sheen and textured surface, making it a unique and prized silk variety. This distinctive texture is a result of the silkworms' irregular spinning patterns and their preference for feeding on a variety of leaves. As a result, Tussar Silk boasts an organic, slightly nubby surface that adds character and depth to the fabric, making each piece one-of-a-kind. This charming uneven texture enhances the tactile and visual appeal of Tussar Silk. Tussar silk is often known for its durability and is used to create exquisite textiles, prized for its rich, earthy tones and lustrous appearance.
