The Silk of Bhagalpur: A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Bhagalpur, a historic city on the banks of the Ganges, isn’t just a location; it’s a brand in itself. Known as the "Silk City of India," it has been a center of textile excellence for centuries. But what makes Bhagalpuri Silk (specifically Tussar) so special for modern fashion brands?
The "Peace Silk" Difference
Unlike traditional silk production, Bhagalpuri Tussar is often produced without harming the silkworm, earning it the title of "Ahimsa" or Peace Silk. This cruelty-free process resonates deeply with today's conscious consumer. The resulting fabric has a rich, textured gold sheen that synthetic alternatives simply cannot replicate.
Geographical Indication (GI) Status
Bhagalpur Silk holds a GI tag, certifying its unique geographical origin and quality. When you source authentic Bhagalpuri silk, you aren't just buying fabric; you are buying a piece of cultural heritage that adds immense storytelling value to your collection.
Why Designers Love It
Its natural porosity makes it breathable in summer and warm in winter. Its texture—nubby, raw, and organic—adds instant depth to any garment, from tailored blazers to flowing maxi dresses. Explore our fabric catalog to see how this heritage material can elevate your next line.
