Mulberry yarn selection
Pit-loom handweaving
Morning light inspection
London textile intake
Only Grade-A Karnataka mulberry silk filature is spun, yielding high tensile resilience and the characteristic dense, fluid drape that synthetic filaments cannot replicate.
Generational weavers guide traditional shuttle looms in historic Mysuru clusters, interlacing delicate zari borders thread by thread at an unhurried, measured pace.
Every length undergoes meticulous surface examination under natural raking daylight in Karnataka, ensuring zero synthetic sizing, tension faults, or weave interruptions.
Pieces arrive at our London studio for final tissue wrapping and archival storage, ready for prompt dispatch across the United Kingdom.
Zero polyester blends. Verified mulberry silk. Fair lineage compensation.
Preserving the zari border
The subtle weight of genuine Mysuru silk twill lies in its unadorned density. Master artisans calibrate the hand-cranked loom tension by instinct, weaving electroplated metallic zari precisely into the borders to frame everyday British tailoring with quiet gravitas.
By working directly with these family workshops, we ensure ethical, unmediated compensation that sustains Karnataka's living handloom lineage. Each piece carries the distinct touch of the hands that threw the shuttle.
