Scarf -Tussar Peace Silk- Tile

Slow Fashion, heirloom quality Tussar Peace silk scarf is made of sustainable natural silk and consequence of hundreds of hours of intensive craftsmanship. Each is one of a kind, ethical and produced in a small batch; truly ahminsa silk, made without destroying the left inside the cocoon. Tussar silk is cooler than the other varieties of silk, as it is a lot more porous, therefore, breathable. It is light, airy and comfortable. The silk from this Natural fibre is readily biodegradable after serving its full lifecycle, and thus has low environmental impact.

About Artisan:
