Cara scarf, Natural tussar silk, blue, one size

Tussar Silk, also referred to as "wild silk", is a refined fiber obtained from a wide-winged, brownish-yellow silkmoth called Antheria Paphia.

Mainly produced in India, Tussar is highly valued for its natural golden colors, which it inherits from the Antheria Paphia butterfly. Tussar silk is much more textured than any other variety of silk.

The material is also cooler than other varieties and is much more porous, therefore breathable. Being cooler than other silk varieties makes Tussar extremely wearable in warmer parts of the world.
