Since Eri Silk is there, the set does not have the typical sheen that is associated with Silks from India. Eri Silk is an indigenous Silk variety from India found in Assam and some other North Eastern States. The lack of sheen is typical of Eri Silks. Eri Silk is also known as peace silk or Ahimsa silk .
The presence of Mulberry silk adds subtle sheen and softness to the set .
Muga Ghicha silk is procured from the ruptured muga cocoons . They are generally soft browns to dark browns in colour and have slight dry and rough texture .
It has a blouse piece that comes with a border .
Please note that there may be some difference in colours between the actual set and that in the image due to lighting issues and the presence of silks .
