Why Muga Silk Is So Expensive | So Expensive

#MugaSilk #Silk
Unlike any other fabric, muga silk has a naturally lustrous gold sheen. It comes from the cocoons of muga silkworms, which primarily feed on some trees. A sari made with muga silk can cost $6,500, thousands more than other saris. But the caterpillars needed to make it are in danger of disappearing. So what's happening to the muga silkworm? And why is this silk so expensive?

Is Muga - Ahimsa silk ???

[@koushikdas657]

No , in ahimsa silk the worms are not killed but in muga they are .

[@anusangma7814]

Very less employment in the field of Textile.Government of Assam is not doing anything for this Industry.

The silk is OK. Mulberry silk is white and can be dyed in thousands of colors. Not so with Mugabe. You will never get any good pastels. Also it is very stiff. The drape is not very fluid with Muga. It is an interesting fiber. But it is not all that. Those sarees shown in the video are pretty spectacular though. And not too happy to see the moths tied to sticks so that they can lay their eggs in the right place. Lots of cruelty to animals in the production of muga.

[@hunterkiller4578]

Throw your cruelty bullshit out, this process is being followed since thousands of years so the moth lay their eggs in one place and not in the entire area where farmers can't reach and locate, they know months importance that's why they let many of them live and now some butthurt animal lover on internet can't change this tradition.
