What is the difference between tussar silk and mulberry silk saree

Tussar and mulberry silk sarees differ mainly in origin, texture, and finish. Mulberry silk comes from cultivated silkworms that eat mulberry leaves, creating smooth, glossy yarn used for formal and bridal wear. Tussar silk, or wild silk, is spun by forest silkworms and has a textured, breathable feel with a natural golden shade. Both are pure silks but serve different style and comfort needs.

How tussar and mulberry silk sarees compare in texture and use

Tussar silk feels cooler and more breathable for summer events, while mulberry silk works best for weddings or festive evenings. Designers now mix tussar’s organic texture with hand-painted motifs to offer sustainable luxury that fits current heritage trends.
