This exceptional handwoven wild tussar peace silk fabric is crafted from foraged silk cocoons collected from forest habitats, making it one of the most ethical and rare silk textiles available. Unlike conventional silk, the silkworms are allowed to complete their life cycle before the cocoons are gathered, preserving biodiversity while producing a fiber with remarkable natural character.

The yarns used in this cloth are naturally textured and undyed, retaining the earthy ivory-to-sand tones that are unique to wild tussar silk. These subtle tonal variations and slubs are not flaws—they are the signature of true wild silk, giving every meter a one-of-a-kind, organic surface.

Handwoven on traditional looms, this fabric boasts a substantial 280 GSM weight, providing body, structure, and durability while retaining silk’s gentle warmth and breathability. The weaving process is slow and labor-intensive due to the irregular, wild silk filaments, which require highly skilled artisans to guide the yarns into a stable, even cloth.

The result is a beautifully raw, architectural textile—soft yet sturdy, with a tactile surface that ages gracefully over time.

Perfect for:
Statement jackets and coats
Kimono-style garments
Slow-fashion dresses and trousers
Upholstery accents and cushion covers
Art textiles and heirloom home décor

This fabric is designed for makers who value craft, sustainability, and material honesty.
