Tussar Silk Weaving:

Tussar silk weaving has its origins deeply rooted in Indian textiles, particularly in the eastern states of India such as Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal. Also known as "wild silk," Tussar Silk is derived from the larvae of several species of silk moths, and its unique texture and sheen make it highly prized.

The irregularities in the yarn give the fabric a distinct charm, with variations in texture adding to its beauty. Tussar silk is often woven with traditional techniques, such as handloom weaving, which further enhances its artisanal appeal.

Kantha Embroidery:

Kantha embroidery, originating from the Bengal region of India and Bangladesh. Historically, Kantha was born out of the practice of repurposing old fabrics, with women stitching together layers of worn-out saris and dhotis to create something new and beautiful. The uniqueness of Kantha lies in its simplicity and versatility—the running stitch used in this embroidery style not only reinforces the fabric but also forms delicate patterns and motifs, often depicting scenes from everyday life, nature, or mythology. What makes Kantha truly special is its ability to tell stories—each stitch carrying the memories and dreams of those who crafted it.
