Blouse Subarna II

€185.00

Subarna - dedicated to our talented weaver Subarna

This blouse is hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in Assam and sewn in a small women-led studio in Bangalore. The fit is relaxed and loose. The blouse has a bow at the neck which can be tied or left open. The silk is called eri silk and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen. No chemicals or pesticides have been used during the process. The model wears size S.

Please note: This product is entirely made by hand. Therefore, irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. The fabric and the dye will change over time - the silk is becoming softer and the dyes lighter.  Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
