ADVITA Kanchan : BHAGALPURI SILK
Rs. 3,100.00
ADVITA Kanchan — meaning gold — is a tribute to Bhagalpur, the legendary Silk City of Bihar, where silk weaving has flourished for over two centuries along the banks of the Ganga. Bhagalpuri silk, also known as Tussar silk or Katia, is one of India's most celebrated handloom traditions, prized for its natural texture, understated sheen, and remarkable durability.
The Bhagalpur Weaving Legacy
Bhagalpur's weavers have refined their craft over generations, working on traditional pit looms to create fabrics with a distinctive slightly coarse yet smooth finish — a texture that is unmistakably Bhagalpuri. The silk is sourced from wild silkworms, giving it an earthy, organic character that sets it apart from cultivated silk varieties. Natural dyes are often used, making each piece an eco-conscious choice rooted in centuries of sustainable practice.
