India is the world’s 2nd largest producer and exporter of silk
Silk and its origin
Silk is primarily derived from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm “Bombyx mori” nurtured in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to divert incoming light at different angles, producing different colours.
Handloom silk saree is identified as the most luxurious and classy fabric in Indian traditional clothing. Saree signifies the glory of Indian culture. India being the vast contributor in production and export of silk, the journey of silk sarees symbolizes a legacy in Indian textile.

Chanderi Silk
The royal textile, Chanderi silk has its origin from a very small town in Madhya Pradesh called Chanderi, while history speaks about its origin between the 2nd and 7thcentury BC, it rose to prominence during the 11thcentury.
Chanderi saree is also referred to as ‘woven air’ because of its transparency and the sheer texture of the fabric. Distinguished by its light weight and glossy texture, Chanderi silk is considered as the epitome of fabrics.
The yarn used for weaving Chanderi doesn’t go through the degumming process to prevent breakage during weaving. Thus, it is given the unique shine and texture. Known for its soft pastel hues, Chanderi silk is considered one of the royal ranges in silk sarees. At Keya Seth Exclusive, you will find the best collection of Chanderi silk sarees and dresses.
