Known as Kosa Silk in Sanskrit, it is a type of pure wild silk produced primarily in the states of West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkand.
This raw fabric has a rich yet coarse texture, is light and airy, and delicate yet structured.It has rather unique thermal properties in that it keeps the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer.
Accompanying this design is the ancient Persian craft of Zardosi embroidery. Considered one of the most lavish styles of embroidery, this regal art made its way to India during the Mughal Era (16th Century).
A highly skilled technique painstakingly crafted by hand using an adda bichana (wooden frame), incorporating fine metallic embellishments, thin needle points, hand drawn patterns and wires, beads, curved hooks, and threads…all interwoven to create timeless, individually unique embroidery designs.
This type of embroidery work can take one days or months to complete, based on the intricacy.
