Lotus, the national flower of India is more than just its beauty. A flower of religious and cultural importance, blooms out of mud. This symbol of purity and knowledge serves many purposes. The pastel petals, the large green leaves and the brownish stems are of high value. The lotus stems, apart from being nutritious are much appreciated for its fibers. Delicate, thin strands of fibers are extracted from the lotus stem and woven into fabric with silk-like properties and are thus called “Lotus Silk”.

How did extracting Lotus Silk come into practice?

Extracting fibres from lotus stems have been in practice since 1910. Later during the 90's designers of Japan setup workshops to create a foreign market for their fabric. But due to low demand in Japan, lotus fibre fabric remained a rare and handmade textile.
