Ahimsa peace silk (also known as Vegan silk and Gandhi silk)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100% Cruelty Free and 100% Natural Silk. Silk farmers practicing this method wait for the silk worm to grow completely and emerge from their cocoons. Silk is then extracted from these cocoons discarded after the silk moth has naturally emerged. A beautiful fabric, highly valued for its purity and shimmering, yet earthy, texture.
Wild peace silk
---------------------
Spun from silk cocoons foraged by forest dwellers of North Eastern India. These forest friendly people understand the balance of nature and retrieve cocoons discarded by silk moths. A government backed program allows them to bring these foraged cocoons to silk processing facilities where silk yarn is produced. This is as close to mother nature and primal living that one can get and such a beautiful range of silks!
Wool
--------
Cashmere (known as Pashmina in India) and Mohair is the softest, luxurious wool known to mankind. These are both Goats' wool, and much sought after for their fineness, warmth and exclusivity. Inherently organic due to the unpolluted environment these goats inhabit.
(Cashmere is currently sold out!)

PRODUCTION
Fabric Treasury's fabrics are produced through artisanal co-operatives who ensure fair wage and work environments to its members. We find this much ethical, organized and mutually beneficial than working with individual artisans. This also gives us access to the best spinners, dyers, weavers and printers.
Fabric Treasury focuses on bringing the best quality of artisanal fabrics to people everywhere at a fair price. We do not overprice in the name of charitable intentions since it backfires on its original purpose of making these fabrics affordable to a larger audience. Our intention is to make artisanal fabrics a part of your daily lives.
