Mysore Silk Sarees

Pure Mysore Silk Sarees

Pure Mysore silk sarees are valued for their mulberry silk, smooth texture, natural sheen, and fluid drape. When choosing an authentic saree, consider the following:

• Pure Mulberry Silk: RmKV's Mysore silk collection uses pure mulberry silk sourced through its trusted sourcing network in Karnataka.
• Silk Mark Certification: Silk Mark certification helps verify that a saree is made from genuine silk. RmKV's Mysore silk sarees are Silk Mark-certified.
• Texture & Sheen: Pure silk has a smooth, soft feel and natural lustre rather than an excessively artificial shine.
• Weave Consistency: Examine the fabric for consistent weaving and thread density across the saree.
• Zari Lustre: Genuine zari should have a consistent lustre and remain securely woven into the fabric without easily peeling or discolouring.

For individual products, check the listed material, certification, zari, and weaving details before purchasing.

How Mysore Silk Sarees Are Made?

The characteristic drape of Mysore silk comes partly from the treatment of its silk yarn. The yarn is specially twisted before weaving, creating the crepe-like texture associated with Mysore silk and giving the finished saree its fluid fall.

Unlike heavily embellished silk sarees where dense zari or motifs dominate the fabric, Mysore silk traditionally places greater emphasis on the quality of the silk, yarn, weave, and understated zari border.
