Muga Silk (Antheraea assamensis) is a variety of wild silk geographically tagged to the state of Assam in India. It is not available in any other country in the world. The silk is known for its extreme durability and has a natural yellowish-golden tint with a shimmering, glossy texture. This silk can be hand-washed and its lustre increases after every wash. The fabric absorbs ultraviolet rays to such an extent that it shields the body from its effects. The fabric is woven on fly shuttle frame looms.
