Its irregularity is part of the value. SUTAAS helps buyers plan around harvest cycles, grade availability, lot size, and origin documentation so seasonal material can still move through professional export channels.

Oak Tasar. Forest silk. The handle of the hills.

🏅 NE India Origin · Tribal Forest Rearing

Oak Tasar is produced by the Antheraea proyeli silkworm in the oak forests of Nagaland — primarily by tribal community rearers. Its coarse texture is a defining quality, not a flaw. Natural earth tones, excellent botanical dye affinity, and a built-in origin story make this the choice for designers working in the luxury handcraft space.

Seasonal product — two harvest cycles per year. Advance orders recommended.
