 The Saree has interwoven motifs in hand spun Eri Silk . Muga Silk and Eri Silk are the two indigenous silks of the NE region of India . 

Muga Silk - The most valued silk from India. Almost exclusively reared and produced in Assam, India. It is indigenous to the Brahmaputra Valley and assiduously practiced in the districts of Assam. The moth is basically a wild moth. Hence it is categorised as Vanya Silk or Wild silk by the silk board of India.(http://csb.gov.in/silk-sericulture/silk/vanya-silk/)

The yarn produces is a natural rich golden yellow or light brown colour depending on  the host plant it feeds on. These are unique products. Muga silks resist sunshine and are more durable than mulberry silks. Muga silks can be termed Organic as no harmful chemicals have been used in the cultivation of host trees or in the processing of silk fabrics.  No dyes are applied to the yarns. The golden colour is its natural colour. Most Muga rearing and cultivation is still done by village clusters in Assam in the traditional method. 

The Saree is more contemporary than traditional but the motifs are the traditional tribal motifs . Since all the yarns used here are silk , it is a hundred percent silk saree . It is lightweight .  The fluffiness is inherent to wild reeled silks .
