The Timeless Beauty of Indian Silk Fabric
The Legacy and Craftsmanship Behind Golden Muga Silk
Golden Muga silk, predominantly manufactured in Assam, is one of the most esteemed varieties of silk fabrics in India. It is in fact far more than just a piece of cloth and even represents the culture that has been passed down for generations. Muga silk is produced from the silkworms called Antheraea Assamensis which is specific to the Brahmaputra Valley only. Specific climatic conditions and vegetation factors affecting this region explain why the silk is always high quality and durable.
The Unique Challenges of Processing Wild Silks
Svarna’s expertise in handling sensitive fabrics such as Muga and Tussar fabric which are difficult to work with. Since being one of the few manufacturers experienced in working with these fine fabrics, we supervise each stage carefully, starting from the choice of silkworms and their food, through cocoon formation and up to silk filaments extraction. In this way, it becomes possible to sustain the elevated quality levels that are characteristic of Muga Silk and use only the best materials. The fabric undergoes through degumming process, in which Japanese chemicals are used to wash out starch on the surface and yarn, making the silk smooth and lustrous. For this purpose, there is a proprietary formula, which has been formulated at Svarna, which is one of our secret recipes that are used when treating our silk fabric.

Muga silk is said to be stronger than leather and as soft as a feather Meanwhile, the golden sheen inherent in the fabric never fades, as it does not require dyeing, and can last for decades. On the contrary, as opposed to, for instance, Bengali Tantush, Muga silk’s shine even increases with washes, which is quite rare for natural fabrics for clothing. As such, it is in high demand for the production of ethnic Indian apparel like sarees, lehengas and dupattas which are handed down from one generation to another.
