About Bengal Muslin:

Muslin is a closely woven, unbleached cloth made from carded cotton handspun yarn. Originating in Bengal, it gained fame in Europe during the 17th century. Its breathable and light texture makes it perfect for hot and dry climates. West Bengal produces about 55% of India's muslin, with efforts underway to revive the fine muslin fabrics that were once renowned worldwide. The Project Muslin initiative, led by the West Bengal Government, is helping to restore the art of weaving higher-count muslin with over 600 skilled families involved in this endeavor across various districts in West Bengal.

Colour, Texture & Wash Care:

• Variation: As the saree is handcrafted, expect slight variations in colour and texture. This is a natural characteristic of handwoven textiles, enhancing their uniqueness.

• Handwoven Nature: You may notice slight imperfections, such as missing yarn, slubs, or uneven yarn contrasts, which are typical of handwoven fabrics. These natural features contribute to the saree’s authentic charm, which is missing in machine-made products.
