Silk’s story begins more than 5,000 years ago in ancient China, where it was discovered by accident. According to legend, the empress of China, Lei Zhenzi, was sitting under a mulberry tree when a silkworm cocoon fell into her tea, unraveling into fine threads. The discovery of silk immediately captured the imaginations of the Chinese, and they began to refine the techniques of sericulture (silk farming).
Silk is an expensive textile fibre. India is the second largest silk producer and the largest consumer in the world.
Silk weavers in Gujarat, India, have practiced the art of double ikat for centuries. For many families, the knowledge is inherited from generations of practice.

Silk isn’t just reserved for fashion—it plays a vital role in interior design. From luxurious bedding to intricate upholstery, silk adds a touch of glamour and sophistication to any space.
