In a magical shade of grey, this Mulberry Silk stole captures the serenity of silk and hosts motifs straight from nature. Motifs captured from the age old technique of bundle dyeing, where delicate maple and eucalyptus leaves cast their imprints over the base by methods of pressing and steaming them. The natural pigments fall all over the base in tones of soft gold, sage and earthy brown. The interplay of sheen and shadow across the silvery base creates magic, with each fold reflecting the shimmer of Mulberry silk and each imprint holding rhythms of the nature. Crafted over handlooms with care and patience, the stole is an ode to sustainable luxury and organic art.

What is Mulberry Silk
World famous for its finesse and purity, Mulberry silk is renowned for its unmatched sheen, buttery smooth texture and strength.  Woven on traditional handlooms, the delicate threads come from the cocoons of mulberry-fed silkworms - a process that produces naturally lustrous and soft fibre. Mulberry silk is gentle on the skin, hypoallergenic and breathable that doesn't choke the skin - ideal for all year round. At Pashmsutra, we only provide authentic handloom silk, with no added synthetics or blends. This ensures the stoles remain pure, safe and heirloom worthy.

Process of Bundle Dyeing
The process of bundle dyeing is a complicated one and starts with gathering seasonal flowers and leaves. We source ours respectfully from temples after daily offerings. These flowers and leaves are placed carefully on handwoven Mulberry Silk scarves and stoles and the fabric is rolled into tight bundles. This bundle is later steamed to allow the natural pigments to seep into the fabric. 
No two pieces are ever the same, the colours, shapes and imprints depend on nature's whim. Each stole is a canvas, painted by flowers, rain, sunlight, just nature itself. We use only discarded or naturally fallen flowers, our process honours sustainability and the ethical essence of dealing with nature, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Mulberry Silk Care
Your Mulberry Silk stole is extra delicate and requires gentle handling to preserve its beauty and longevity. Opt for gentle dry cleaning to maintain the purity of silk. Do not expose to direct sunlight as it may fade the organic floral print. Avoid using harsh soaps or detergents. Iron using a low silk setting or use a protective cloth over the stole. Keep the stole stored in a cool, dry place. Wrap it in a muslin cloth and avoid plastic bags. Keep away from moisture and perfume. Dampness alters its natural colour.
