Moonga Silk Fabrics

Moonga Silk Fabrics — Assam's Golden Wild Silk by the Metre

Moonga silk — also known as Muga silk — is one of the world's most extraordinary and most precious natural fibres, produced exclusively in Assam by the semi-wild silkworm Antheraea assamensis that feeds on the leaves of Som and Soalu trees in Assam's forests. Muga silk is the only naturally golden silk in the world — its characteristic warm golden colour is entirely natural, requiring no dyeing, and it deepens and becomes more lustrous with age and washing, making Muga silk garments true heirlooms that become more beautiful over time. GI-tagged and internationally celebrated, Muga silk is one of Assam's greatest cultural treasures — traditionally worn by Assamese women for festivals and weddings, and now increasingly recognised worldwide as one of the most precious and most sustainable luxury fibres available. Our Moonga Silk Fabric collection offers this extraordinary fabric by the metre, perfect for creating bespoke sarees, suits, and garments of the highest quality and most enduring beauty. At Luxurion World, our Moonga silk fabrics are sourced from the master weavers of Assam, paying above-fair compensation to preserve this extraordinary GI-tagged tradition.
