Handloom Pure Eri Silk Stole | Beige

Often called the “peace silk,” Eri has been woven for centuries by Assamese communities who believe in harmony between nature and craft. This beige Eri silk stole is shaped by those traditions—crafted patiently on handlooms that have witnessed generations of artisans at work.

Historically, Eri silk was reserved for nobility, rituals, and sacred occasions. Families would pass down Eri shawls and stoles as heirlooms, believing the fabric carried blessings and protection. The practice of weaving Eri silk grew alongside spiritual and cultural customs, making each piece a reflection of Assamese identity and values.

Today, this handloom Eri silk stole carries that legacy forward, blending heritage with modern elegance.

Understanding the Significance of Eri Silk

Eri silk is unlike any other silk. Produced from the silkworm Samia ricini, it is spun only after the cocoon is naturally open, allowing the moth to complete its life cycle. This makes Eri silk one of the most ethical and sustainable silks in the world.

Its texture is soft yet structured, warm yet breathable—making it suitable for all seasons. In Assam, Eri silk has long been worn during weddings, religious ceremonies, and special gatherings, symbolizing purity, warmth, and dignity. The beige tone further enhances its understated beauty, reflecting simplicity and refinement.

The Handloom Process

Creating a pure Eri silk stole is a slow and deliberate process that begins with spinning the silk yarn by hand. The yarn is then prepared and set onto traditional looms. Each artisan carefully plans the weave pattern before the process begins, ensuring balance and harmony in design.

As the loom moves, the artisan guides every thread with precision. The elegant woven patterns seen on this stole are not printed or embossed; they are formed as part of the weave itself. This technique gives the fabric depth, texture, and durability that machine-made fabrics cannot replicate.

From yarn preparation to the final finishing touches, every stage demands skill, focus, and time. The result is a stole that feels luxurious yet natural against the skin.
