11 fabulous Mysore silk sarees that you must have

The history of Mysore silk dates back to 1912 AD, however, the first silk cocoons were imported from China to Mysore in 1785 AD by Tipu Sultan the ruler of the Mysore Kingdom. It’s believed that the Maharajah of Mysore Krishna Raj Wadiyar went to Britain for the Queen’s Jubilee celebration and was impressed by the machine-made fabric the British royalties wore. This made him order 32 power looms from Switzerland which gave birth to the first production of machine-made silk sarees in India.

The first Mysore weaving factory was established in 1912 by the Maharajah of Mysore, which is now owned by the Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation (KISC) which only produces Mysore silk.

Mysore silk sarees have a plain based single colour fabric of genuine silk and a narrow pure gold zari border at both ends of the saree which gives it a rich texture and natural sheen. Since they are exclusively manufactured and produced by KISC, each saree is unique and you can be sure of the durability and authenticity of the fabric.

The saree colours are traditional hues of red, green, orange, coffee brown, lilac, and elephant grey. Mysore sarees are mainly embellished with zari however, to make them more fashionable and appealing floral borders, motifs like mango butis, Bandhani designs, and Kasuti embroidery are now being seen on these sarees.
