The Pride of Assam
Muga silk is the rarest silk in the world. The silkworm (Antheraea assamensis) eats specific leaves found only in the Brahmaputra valley.
Why It’s Special
-
Natural Gold: Muga is naturally golden. It never needs to be dyed.
-
Stronger with Age: Unlike other silks, Muga becomes more lustrous after every wash.
-
The Fire Test: Muga is known to be incredibly heat resistant, a trait that made it the choice of Ahom royalty.
