Product type
Tussar silk is a type of silk produced from the cocoons of the Antheraea moth species, primarily found in India and other parts of Asia. Unlike mulberry silk, Tussar silk is known for its rich texture and natural golden color, which is derived from the silkworms feeding on wild trees. This silk is less lustrous than other silk types, giving it a unique, rustic appearance that is highly valued in the textile industry.
