Description
The price of Muga silk is as high as gold and is one of the most expensive silks in the world. Muga silk is now so expensive that it has become a treasured possession among middle-class women, just like their gold jewelry.
Muga silk is a variety of wild silk geographically tagged to the state of Assam in India. The silk is known for its extreme durability and has a natural yellowish-golden tint with a shimmering, glossy texture. It was previously reserved for the use of royalty.
Muga silkworm is endemic to Assam. It is produced in very small quantities, and production is largely restricted to Assam and North East. Tasar silk is produced in a larger area spread across central and western India.
Known as the king of silks, Muga is honey-toned in appearance and is produced by a semi-domesticated silkworm endemic to Assam that are fed on Som and Sualu tree leaves. The silk, known for its glossy fine texture and durability, is exclusive since it can only be found in Assam.
