Description :

Eri silk shawls for men are luxurious, handwoven garments from Assam, known as Peace Silk because they are produced sustainably without harming the moth. These durable, eco-friendly, and lightweight shawls feature a matte, often off-white or natural texture, offering excellent, comfortable, and breathable warmth in all seasons. Made from 100% pure Eri silk, they are soft, non-itchy, and have a cotton-like or wool-like feel rather than a high-sheen, slick silk texture. Generally, these are extra-large, allowing for versatile styling as a shoulder wrap or scarf. Ideal for both traditional Indian attire (such as Kurtas) and modern, casual, or formal wear, adding a refined, sophisticated touch.

Location : Assam, India

Specification :

Fabric	:	Pure Eri Silk: A rich, heavy-duty hand-spun silk that feels more like fine linen or soft wool than traditional slippery silk. Textural Depth: Features a distinctive matte finish and a warm, rustic hand-feel that is unique to the Endi variety.
Country Of Origin	:	India: Authentically produced in the Brahmaputra Valley and the Bodoland Territorial Region of Assam.
Material	:	100% Organic Eri Silk: A sustainable protein fibre harvested from the Samia ricini silkworm, which feeds exclusively on castor leaves.
Speciality	:	The Vegan Silk: Celebrated worldwide as Ahimsa Silk because the moth is allowed to emerge and fly away before the cocoons are processed. Thermal Regulation: Renowned for being warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a versatile wrap for transitioning seasons.
Technique Of Design	:	Hand-Spun Yarn: The silk is processed using a drop spindle (Takli), resulting in a yarn with natural variations in thickness. Traditional Floor Looms: Woven by artisans using ancestral hand-weaving techniques that create a dense, protective fabric. Natural Borders: Often finished with simple, elegant stripes or traditional geometric borders woven into the ends.
Tribe Name	:	The Boro (Bodo) Tribe: Handcrafted by Boro women weavers, who are the primary custodians of the Eri silk-rearing and weaving tradition in India.
Cultural & Traditional Significance	:	The Blanket of Assam: Traditionally known as an Endi Chador, it is a staple household item in every Assamese and Boro home. Ritualistic Value: Gifted as a mark of highest respect to elders and guests; it is often considered a spiritual wrap of protection. Heirloom Status: A high-quality Eri shawl is meant to last a lifetime and is frequently passed down through generations.
Durability	:	Exceptional Strength: Often called the Iron Silk because it is incredibly difficult to tear and resists stretching. Wash-Enhanced: Unlike other luxury fabrics, Eri silk becomes softer, smoother, and more comfortable the more it is used and washed.
Breathability	:	High Porosity: The loosely spun fibres allow for excellent air circulation, preventing the stifling feeling often associated with synthetic wraps. Absorbent: Effectively absorbs moisture, making it comfortable to wear even in the humid climates of Northeast India.
Care Instruction	:	Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a gentle silk-specific detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners. Drying: Spread flat on a clean surface in the shade; never hang it while soaking wet as the weight can distort the shape. Ironing: Use a medium steam setting. The natural crinkle of the fabric is part of its charm, so heavy pressing is rarely needed. Storage: Wrap in a muslin or cotton cloth and store with dried neem leaves to protect against moisture and insects.
