Bhagalpur in Bihar, India, famed for its exquisite Bhagalpuri silk sarees in Tussar and Dupion Silk, has taken
the world of fashion by storm.
Tussar Silk Sarees, also
known as ‘Kosa’ Silks, are made from silk of the moth genus Antheraea. Known as
‘wild silk’, it comes from the forests of Jharkhand and the raw silk has a deep
golden colour and of good texture. Tussar Silk staples, shorter and less
expensive compared to that of cultivated silk, have the cocoons boiled to make
the silk cocoon extraction process easy. However some weavers prefer to allow the
silkworms to leave the cocoon before boiling , and is popularly known as Ahimsa
or non-violent silk . The woven Tussar Silk Saree is light on the body, airy
and has a comfortable feel about it.
Hand-woven pure Tussar Silk Sarees are well known for their zari borders,
motifs and the hand crafted designs that enrich them. Hand spun and coloured
with vegetable dyes, the fabrics produce are eco-friendly. Tussar Silk Sarees
with fancy block prints, batik, Bandhani work on the Silk body and
appliqués or embroidered patch work accompanying it, are beautiful creations.
Stylish north Indian half and half tussar silk saris having kantha embroidery
and banarsi border are eye-catchers. Well-suited for Indian weddings, and as
bridal attire!
The Bhagalpuri Dupion Silk Saree has a charismatic appeal in its
weave. Natural uneven lumps of the silk yarn, maintained in the fabric weave
form an intended pattern that is unique and appealing.
Dupion is also known as
Dupioni or Douppioni. Dupion Silk is one of the purest silks in its natural
form. It is easily distinguished from other forms of silk by its inherent
property of lumps or silk knots within the yarn fabric.The inherent qualities
of the Dupion Silk Saree makes it suitable for dyeing the yarn to any colour, is
comparatively easy to sew, and is highly wrinkle-resistant. The creases on the
fabric form so well that it assumes a crisp and neat look.
The uneven weave
with nubs (lumps of yarn) showing at regular intervals form an unconscious
pattern indicative of an underlying design. Double cocoons are reeled on the
Charakha, or hand-spinning wheel. But with the Dupion Reeling Machine being
introduced, the Dupion
Silk Saree woven
with two threads apart from the nubs create a shimmering effect. Dupion Silk
Sarees though low priced compared to pure silk sarees get better priced with
adornments of pearls, beads, kundans and sequins and are much-preferred wear
for wedding ceremonies.
