Hand Spun Eri Silk Hand-Woven with Linen

Made in Assam, India.

This fabric is produced by 7 Weaves Social in partnership with Artisans of Fashion in the village communities within the Loharghat Forest Range outside Guwahati, the capital of Assam.

Eri is reared by locals from silkworms which feed on castor plants. The silk is then hand-spun and then woven by hand on traditional looms set up in a purpose-built weaving centre within the village.  

The forest region is under threat with local governments and industry looking to move the traditional tribal communities out of their natural habitat where they have lived for over 200 years, with younger generations also migrating to city centres. Local grassroots initiatives work to strengthen these communities and create economic independence utilising their traditional skill sets.
