“Tasar” is a natural silk and its silkworms are reared on trees. It is a forest based activity and its exposure to nature results in it’s truly multi tonal look which can never be duplicated by manmade fabric .These all natural wild silk items are made by a collaborative venture of tribal silkworm rearer, rural women yarn makers and handloom weavers. Each item’s creation is a source of livelihood and hope for a better future for thousands of women. The yarn made by the women is used to weave exquisite stoles and scarves, throws, sarees and fabric.
The principles of Fairtrade are adhered to in the manufacturing process. Utmost care is taken to make a green product. Natural vegetable dyes and/or Azo-free dyes are used in the manufacture of these silks which are then being sold worldwide through both regular and Fair trade channels.
