FAQs

Raw silk is a natural, luxurious fabric known for its slightly textured, crisp feel and brilliant rich luster, woven from untreated silk fibers.
Raw silk holds its shape beautifully to provide maximum volume (ghera), takes to vibrant dyes incredibly well, and is strong enough to support heavy hand embroidery.

Raw silk has a natural crispness and can crease, but it holds a beautiful structured look. We provide premium garment bags to keep it pristine.
