Eri Peace Silk Handwoven Dabu Scarf-1
$29 Incl of GST
Make this ahimsa silk scarf with beautiful Dabu botanical print yours today! Peace Eri silk is one of the most sustainable natural fibers out there. Eri silk comes from Caterpillar of Samoa Ricini, which feeds on Castor plants found in certain parts of Asia. Eri cocoons are open mouthed and do not require the moth to be killed for the process of extraction of fiber. Hence it is also called Ahimsa or non violent silk, a preferable silk for vegans. It has some amazing properties, though it’s not as shiny as other silks and has a rough texture, it is one of the most durable and strong fibres. It has ‘isothermal’ properties so it feels cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We had these printed in Bagru, Rajasthan in natural colors by Ram Babu Shukla Ji.
