PURE TUSSAR SILK
INDIA


 Nakshi kantha is a traditional running stitch from Bengal, made up of motifs influenced by religion, culture and the lives of the women stitching them. These silk wraps are covered in all-over, illustrative embroidery and showcase the finest of the nakshi kantha tradition. 
They are one of a kind, and fabulous wearable pieces of art.
These stunning pieces  are embroidered by a women producer group in West Bengal using a beautiful hand woven tussar silk which has a luxurious feel and slightly slubbed texture. The silk will become exquisitely  soft with wear.
 
 Handwork is exclusively done by women from highly marginalised communities. This work provides their only opportunity for earning income in their villages. The home-based work is suitable for all women and prevents urban migration.
Maintaining highest quality levels and use of traditional techniques and motifs ensures this ancient skill is preserved.
Each silk wrap can take up to 6 months to create.
