Description

Mysore crepe silk sarees are made from pure silk of high quality, which makes these sarees soft and smooth. This will allow you to drape them easily and beautifully. What makes them so unique is the crepe weave. It adds a subtle crinkled texture to the fabric.

Mysore silk is produced by the Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation Limited (KSIC). The factory was founded in 1912 by Sri Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, the Maharaja of Mysore. Initially, the silk fabrics were manufactured & supplied to meet the requirements of the royal family and ornamental fabrics to their armed forces. After India gained independence, the Mysore State Sericulture Dept. took control of the silk weaving factory. In 1980, the factory was handed over to KSIC, a government of Karnataka industry. Today, products include silk sarees, shirts, kurtas, silk dhoti, and neckties. Mysore silk has also received geographical identification.
