About Bengal Muslin:

Muslin is a fine, tightly woven fabric made from handspun cotton yarn. Originating from Bengal, muslin was treasured in Europe during the 17th century for its lightweight, breathable nature, making it ideal for hot, dry climates. Today, West Bengal is a key producer of muslin, and efforts are being made to revive this once-famous textile. The process of spinning and weaving fine muslin requires immense skill, patience, and precision.

The saree is handwoven in the traditional regions of Nadia & Murshidabad, renowned for their expertise in muslin weaving. The revival of Bengal muslin is being supported by the West Bengal Government through Project Muslin, which involves over 600 families of skilled artisans in regions like Murshidabad, Nadia, and more.

• Variation: Slight variations in colour and texture are a natural result of the handmade nature of the fabric, adding uniqueness to each saree.
