How do I wash and care for my Eri silk shawl?
Hand wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid soaking and dry flat in shade. Eri silk is durable, but gentle care helps preserve its texture and natural color.
Who made this Eri silk shawl?
This shawl was handwoven by an all women collective in Meghalaya, India. We work directly with artisan groups who prioritize traditional craft, fair pay, and safe working conditions.
What makes Eri silk different from regular silk?
Eri silk is a cruelty free peace silk. The silkworms are allowed to emerge naturally before the silk is spun, making the process ethical and low impact compared to conventional silk.
Will the natural dyes fade over time?
Natural dyes soften gently rather than fading harshly. With proper care, the colors age beautifully and develop a subtle, lived in character.
Is this an Eri silk shawl or an Eri silk scarf?
This piece is designed as an Eri silk shawl, but its lightweight, breathable weave means it can also be worn comfortably as an Eri silk scarf.
