Mysore Silk
The Crown Jewel of Karnataka
In the hushed twilight of Mysore’s princely court, Mysore silk emerges from Karnataka’s regal heritage, once cherished by the Wodeyar kings. This pure mulberry silk is famed for its gleaming, lustrous finish, like molten gold in moonlight.
Each sari is hand-spun on traditional looms, with threads that caress like satin—an opulent gold-silver zari edging that catches the light like a sunbeam. Dyed with age-old natural pigments, its colors are vibrant and enduring, and its supple softness and legendary durability tell of centuries-old craftsmanship.
