A Touch of Assam's Heritage: The Eri Silk Shawl

Experience the rich textile tradition of Assam with this exquisite camel-colored silk shawl. Crafted from luxurious Eri silk, often referred to as "Ahimsa silk" or "peace silk" because the moths are allowed to emerge from their cocoons before harvesting, this shawl embodies both ethical production and unparalleled softness. The natural, earthy hue of the camel color serves as a perfect canvas for the intricate detailing that makes this piece truly special.

Artistry Woven into Every Thread

This shawl is a testament to the skill of Assamese weavers. The subtle slub texture of the Eri silk lends a unique character to the fabric, giving it a natural, artisanal feel. Adorning the expanse of the shawl are delicate, hand-woven motifs in vibrant shades of red, green, and blue. These small, geometric patterns are strategically placed, creating a captivating visual rhythm that draws the eye. The border is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship, featuring multiple bands of intricate woven designs, culminating in a playful and colorful fringe of tassels. Each element, from the selection of the silk to the placement of every stitch, speaks of generations of passed-down knowledge and artistic dedication. ––––––––––––––––––––
