Handwoven Matka Silk Loose Blouse

Product Description

We have created a dolman sleeve blouse using warm Matka silk.

This is an unrefined, slightly coarse fabric woven using Mulberry silk thread.
The back of a pot called a matka is used as a support.
In West Bengal, where it is concentrated, the name is a corrupted version of matka and called Makka Silk.

The back of the dress is slightly longer.
The shoulders and waist are tailored to be loose, making this a blouse that is recommended for a wide range of people, from slender to larger.

Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if  that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.

* This product is recommended for dry cleaning. Please consult with a cleaning store.
