West Bengal is renowned for its famed embroidery
sarees woven from Tussar silk. These sarees are a blend of the lustrous quality of the special variety of silk and the beauty of embroidery. The embroidery is done using a particular stitch called the kantha, which is a kind of running stitch.
The Bengali Tussar Embroidery Sarees are specially handspun to contain a crisp pebbly texture on the surface. Conforming to Bengali tradition, these sarees are not artificially colored. The natural color of the silk is kept intact.
