SAREE in Purple with Traditional Assamese Motifs in Black and Golden

This gorgeous purple SAREE with woven motifs in black and golden is handwoven in 100% pure Paat silk (or Mulberry silk). The motifs display some perennial and traditional designs along with some contemporary ones. This piece of art has been designed and created by weavers of Assam in a traditional loom.

The domestic Mulberry silk produced in Assam is locally called Paat silk, or Nuni, or Nuni Paat. This variety of Mulberry silkworms feed on the naturally grown white Mulberry plant leaves which is called “Nuni” in Assamese. Paat silk is known for its softness, glossy texture and durability. The raw silk version of Paat silk is locally called “Kesa Paat” which is a delicate fibre and light as a feather.

Assam Paat silk has a naturally white or off-white tint. It can be dyed into various vibrant colours to match your creativity and mood.
