100% silk. Cruelty-free. Handspun and handwoven on bamboo looms hand-braided fringe. Yarn-dyed with indigo, a blue dye obtained from the indigo plant. Crafted by indigenous women weavers from eastern India.

Wrap yourself in the warmth and luxury of this beautiful, cruelty-free silk throw. Handwoven by skilled indigenous artisans, this unique, luxurious silk is considered cruelty-free and compassionate as silk worms aren't harmed, unlike in conventional silk-making, in which cocoon extraction involves killing silk worms in boiling water. Empty cocoons are obtained after a patient wait for silk worms to metamorphose into moths. No pesticide, chemicals, or modern machines are used in any of the production processes. A minimalist design complements its luxurious texture & fine elegance.
