OriginBannerghatta, Karnataka
Kora Silk does not refer to a specific variety of silk but instead reflects the absence of treatment. It is silk in its pure, raw, state — with its sericin intact. Sericin is a protein produced by silkworms that is naturally hydrophilic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and UV protective. This specific Kora Silk comes from Mulberry Silk and is renowned for its lightweight, translucent texture.

Hand wash individually or with like colours in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent. Machine washing on a gentle cycle with like colours is also fine. Dry cleaning is always acceptable.

Hang dry away from prolonged direct sunlight. Natural dyes do fade with sun exposure — shade drying simply slows the process, giving you more control over how the garment evolves.

These garments are made using techniques practiced for hundreds — if not thousands — of years, long before modern laundry machines and chemical detergents. A little more care returns a lot more life.

Measurements are of the flat garment. Size up if between sizes.
