Tussar Silk Sarees – Natural Elegance, Handwoven Texture & Timeless Beauty

Tussar silk (also known as Tasar/Tussah/Tushar/Tasser/Tosor/Kosa) is a type of wild silk produced primarily by the tribal community in the states of West Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand. It is produced from silkworms that feed on the leaves of the arjun and asan plants.

It reflects the exotic and untamed spirit of the wild silkworm producing it, in its raw silk texture, colour, and earthy sheen. It is quite textured, comes in a range of natural colours, such as beige, cream, honey, and tawny, and has an uneven golden sheen.

It is often dyed to take up more vibrant colours and can be easily blended with cotton, wool, linen, or other handwoven silks, making them a perfect choice for festive & occasion wear.

From understanding the heritage craftsmanship behind the weaving process to working closely with artisans on different designs, Sayora is your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about this pure tribal handloom silk. We will take you on a journey through the mesmerizing world of Tussar Silk.

What makes Tussar Silk Sarees Special?

• Natural Golden Sheen – The raw, natural gold shine of Tussar silk is a perfect base for printing, painting, or adding embellishments, making it the perfect choice for clothing on every occasion.
• Rich, Textured Raw Silk Feel – Known for its unique, not rough but slightly coarse texture and distinct appearance, this silk is not smooth. It has a coarse texture-feel when touched, giving a different raw feel, unlike other silk fabrics.
• Breathable & Comfortable for All Seasons – This lightweight silk saree is breathable and comfortable to wear, making it a popular choice for all seasons.
• Traditional yet Modern in Style – Tussar silk has continued to maintain its appeal in the modern fashion industry due to its natural gold sheen and earth-toned glow.
• Ethically Crafted & Sustainable – From the tribal weaving community of Bihar to the master artisans of West Bengal, Tussar silk’s natural production makes it eco-friendly and sustainable.
