This is a genuine handloom product from our looms in Assam, India.
It has cotton in the warp and mulberry silk in the weft with all motifs in ghicha silk , eri silk and cotton.
Due to the presence of Mulberry silk , there is a very subtle sheen to the fabric . The mulberry silk that is used here is raw mulberry silk known colloquially locally as ' Kesa Pat '. The presence of raw silk gives the set the translucent effect.
