Made by an artisan cooperative in Assam, India, which employs indigenous Bodo women weavers. The silk woven by Bodo weavers is known as ahimsa or peace silk. Silkworm cocoons are collected only after the moths have emerged, unlike in the production of most commercial silks. This results in a greater degree of fiber purity, emphasizing the natural luster of the silk.

Each step of creating these products is carried out locally—from nurturing silk worms to knotting the last silk thread on a finished piece. Community members are employed to care for silk worms, collect and process raw cocoons, spin yarn, color with eco friendly dyes or make and apply all-natural plant dyes, and weave fabric. In this way, each step of the process supports local artisan livelihood.

    I am a green interior designer, and I purchased this throw for my own home (that should tell you something there). I expected high quality when I purchased this throw (for the price) and that is what I got. The material is spectacular and the color is rich (almost golden).
