Tussar silk fabric, also known as wild silk or Kosa silk, is a beautiful, natural textile made from the cocoons of silkworms that feed on wild forest trees, primarily found in India. Unlike cultivated mulberry silk, Tussar silk has a distinctive, slightly coarse texture, a matte to low sheen, and a warm, earthy golden-beige hue that gives it a raw, organic charm.
Tussar is lightweight, breathable, and more textured than smooth silks, making it comfortable to wear in warmer climates. Its natural irregularities and slubs give it character and make each piece unique. Tussar silk is treasured for its rustic elegance, cultural heritage, and eco-friendly production.
