Eri-silk is the non-violent (Ahimsa) silk of Assam, the making process of which does not require killing the moth to extract the fibre. With a beautiful grainy, earthy feel, it easy to maintain and mostly wrinkle-free. It is a versatile fabric which can be used in hot and cold climes alike.

Sreya Samanta: Bengal weaves reimagined
Well known for her experiments with Kantha embroidery traditions of Bengal, Samanta develops a quirky take on the tradition by creating contemporary narratives with the craft; also revelling in atypical Saree compositions. Her Jamdani experiments also see the designer drawing from the traditional repertoire of the colour palettes and weaving tradition, as well as adding new iterations to it. Samanta invests extensively in yarn development, and works in only the finest and softest of Bengal khadi cotton and silk fabrics (it is only in Bengal that Khadi achieves such a soft mul-like texture and the designer harnesses that beautifully.)
