Pure, Handwoven Bhagalpur Tussore Silk Stole - Olive Elegance. Bhagalpur, a town in Eastern Bihar is famous for its unique silk fabrics called 'Tussahor Tusser'. Bhagalpur known as Champa in the days of yore, produced abundantly Tussar mulberry out of the 4 categories of silk. The industry enjoyed royal patronage and its silk, the best in the world, was exported to faraway lands. From antiquity to now, this silk industry has survived in its indigenous form. Bhagalpur silk weaving stands apart with unique aspects of its processing methods that include a sun drying method, where cocoons are dried under moderate sunlight. A special boiling process ensures the softness of yarn and imparts a unique sheen to the fabric with every wash. A special manual Thigh reeling process increases the strength of the fabrics considerably, keeping the yarn more lustrous. All the waste Tussore silk is thoroughly cleaned and also spun into yarns.
