Eri Silk Fabric

Eri Silk Fabric

Eri silk, popularly known as “Ahimsa Silk”, is a unique variety of silk produced without harming silkworms, making it one of the world’s most ethical and sustainable textiles.

Eri silk weaving in Assam involves meticulous processes of spinning, dyeing, and hand-weaving on traditional looms. Artisans often use natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals to produce earthy tones that appeal to global eco-fashion consumers. Eri fabrics are primarily used to make shawls, stoles, scarves, jackets, sarees, and winterwear. With increasing global emphasis on sustainable textiles, fair-trade products, and cruelty-free fashion, Eri silk from Assam has gained international attention.
