2. Eri Handloom Silk Saree

Eri is one of the two types of silks from Assam (the other one being muga). It takes its name from the Assamese word ‘era‘ which means castor. Why castor? Because the silkworms feed on castor plants.

Eri silk is strong and durable. Now check out this pretty saree made from the Assam Eri Silk. Buy one and you can rest assured that it will last you for a long time to come.

An interesting trivia about Eri Silk. This silk is called the fabric of peace when the silk is made without killing the silkworms. The variant of silk is then aptly named ‘Ahimsa Silk’.

3. Muga Silk Blended Saree

Now check out this saree made from the other Assam Silk – Muga. Unlike Eri, which is a coarse fabric, Muga has a polished texture. It used to be the choice of fabric of the Assamese royalty.

The best part – like Eri, Muga too is a durable fabric. So buy one and it will give you company for many, many years.

4. Mashru Saree

You may be aware of the Hindi word – ‘mishrit‘. It means mixture. The Mashru fabric takes its name from the sanskrit word Misru because it is a handwoven mix of two textiles – silk and cotton.
