Bharati - dedicated to our talented weaver Bharati
This skirt is hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in and sewn in a small women-led studio in Bangalore. The silk is called and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen. No chemicals or pesticides have been used during the process.The skirt has a relaxed fit and closes with a fine zipper on the waist. The model wears size S.
