$19.00Sin IVA
Descripción
This exquisite handwoven Moonga, also known as Muga silk, comes from Assam—one of India’s most respected silk-producing and weaving regions.
Often described as the golden silk of Assam, Muga is prized for its naturally warm ivory-to-gold colour, remarkable durability, and softly luminous appearance.
Naturally Golden and Undyed
Unlike heavily processed or artificially coloured silks, this fabric retains the natural pigment of the Muga fibre.
The soft golden warmth is not dyed—it is inherent to the silk itself, giving every metre subtle tonal depth and an individual character.
Handwoven Construction
Handwoven on traditional looms, this fabric has a smooth, refined surface with gentle silk crispness and light body.
At 90 GSM, it is airy and elegant while remaining resilient for its fine weight. It drapes gracefully without collapsing, holding enough structure for garments that require both lightness and integrity.
Ideal Uses
* Couture garments
* Heirloom saris and dupattas
* Blouses and refined tops
* Scarves and stoles
* Dresses and flowing skirts
