Our silk scarves are hand-woven in Benares (Varanasi) by our partner artisans, using 100% mulberry silk, using the traditional Tanchoi Jamavar weaving technique. Each scarf takes several days to weave by hand, resulting in extraordinary softness and an unrivalled silky feel. To find out more about what sets Mulberry Silk apart from the other types of silk we offer, see our guide to types of silk and their characteristics.
When you buy a Tohora silk scarf, you are acquiring a piece of the heritage of one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities: Varanasi, an Indian city dating back more than 3,000 years, where this exceptional textile craft has been practised for centuries.
