In a district of Assam, handspun ghicha — crafted from discarded wild Muga silkworm cocoons — is handwoven using the intricate jala technique. On a hand-held frame, extra-weft patterns are created aross the textured Muga in handspun Eri silk, sourced from Northeast India and hand-dyed in a vibrant, azo-free rouge.

Developed over months of meticulous craftsmanship, it is a rare and time-intensive textile.

Eri is a durable, versatile and enduring silk. With just a little care, it will last beautifully for years to come.

• Dry clean. Gentle professional cleaning. Eco dry cleaning recommended, if available.
• Avoid harsh chemicals. Keep away from perfumes, deodorants, cosmetics, bleach, stain removers and other chemicals that may damage the silk.
• Air gently after wear. Allow the garment to air away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Steam gently. Use a steamer or steam iron on low heat. Avoid prolonged contact with the fabric and do not use high heat.
• If damp, dry naturally. Allow the garment to dry in a well-ventilated space. Do not wring, twist or rub the fabric.
• Store with care. Store clean and completely dry, preferably folded loosely in a breathable fabric cover.
