FAQ about Matka Silk Saree

Matka Silk is a rough, hand-spun silk fabric made from the waste of Mulberry silk cocoons. The name "Matka" comes from the pots used to soften the cocoons. The resulting yarn is thick and uneven, giving the saree a rustic, linen-like appearance that is highly valued for its organic feel and durability.
Yes, Matka is generally heavier and more opaque than Mulberry or Chanderi silk. This weight gives it an excellent drape, allowing the pleats to fall sharply and stay in place. Despite its thickness, it remains a breathable, natural fiber that is comfortable for both festive events and professional settings.
While both have a rustic charm, Matka silk is usually more "slubby" and has a matte, cotton-like feel. Tussar silk (Wild Silk) typically has a natural golden sheen and a slightly "papery" texture. Matka is often preferred by those who want the prestige of silk without the high-gloss shine.
Because Matka is a hand-spun, natural fiber, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. This preserves the structural integrity of the "slubs" and ensures the fabric doesn't lose its unique texture. Store your handloom Matka saree in a cool, dry place wrapped in a muslin bag to allow the fibers to breathe.
These are not defects; they are called "slubs." In an authentic hand-spun Matka silk, these variations are proof of human craft. Unlike machine-made fabrics that are perfectly uniform, the unevenness in Matka represents the rhythm of the artisan’s hands and is the hallmark of a genuine, organic silk.
Matka Silk Saree

Step into the tactile world of Matka Silk, where luxury is felt in the grain. Unlike the slippery smoothness of conventional silk, Matka is a "slow-fashion" masterpiece crafted from the hand-spun yarn of cocoons. This gives the fabric its signature linen-like texture—thick, slubby, and full of character. It is a fabric that doesn't just shine; it breathes.

Our pure Matka silk sarees are celebrated for their heavy drape and matte finish, making them the ultimate choice for those who prefer understated, "Quiet Luxury." Because the yarn is spun by hand, every saree carries a unique rhythm of "slubs" and organic irregularities that no machine can replicate. Whether paired with a traditional Jamdani border or kept as a minimalist solid, a Matka saree is a statement of grounded elegance.
