The very word "ahimsa" comes from Sanskrit and translates as "harmless". Ahimsa is an important ethical principle of the three main religions of the subcontinent: Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It is about not hurting other living things.
Ahimsa silk is produced on a very small scale as a cottage industry in India, and its production supports the local community of rural silk farmers (usually women), spinners (women) and weavers (women and men).
Silk Peace means: growing and producing silk without violence. It allows you to complete the metamorphosis of a silkworm into a butterfly so that no animal has to suffer or die for fashion. Peace silk is produced according to the strictest social and ecological standards in India.
The breeding takes place in natural conditions. Trees on which silkworms grow are not treated with any harmful substances. To protect the caterpillars and leaves from other insects or birds, the entire tree is covered with a net, similar to a mosquito net.
As soon as silkworms weave their cocoons, they are kept in a safe place until the chrysalis emerges from the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. This process may take 2 to 4 weeks. This particular method slows down production but is the basis of the philosophy of peaceful silk production. Only when the butterflies leave their cocoons are they processed without the use of harmful chemicals.
For this sari, we have sourced the cocoons from Bombyx mori moth that feeds on mulberry leaves. Mulberry silk is a domesticated type of silk and accounts for about 90% of the world's silk production. 70% of this comes from China; India is the second largest producer in the world. Both ahimsa silk and mulberry silk without ahimsa are commercially produced. The Ahimsa mulberry is produced by allowing the moths to hatch from their cocoons before harvesting. Therefore, ahimsa mulberry silk is woven silk, not fibre silk; which is very different in texture and gloss from "typical" silk.
In India, 97% of the country's raw mulberry silk is produced in 6 states: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Jammu and Kashmir, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and West Bengal
Note: This product is handspun and handwoven, so slight irregularities might exist. Imperfections and variations in the product cannot be termed defects, as these are intrinsic to the handmade process. The product colours may vary due to the light sources or monitor setting.
Shipping: We offer free shipping. Upon purchase, the product is dispatched in a maximum of 7 to 10 business days. Returns are accepted within ten days of delivery. Cancellation requests will be accepted strictly within 24 hours of placing the order only.
Urgent shipping within 2-5 days can be arranged at an additional charge based on the shipping location.
