This is why we are here to help. Assam silk saree\nis a class apart from the other types of silk sarees. If you are feeling\nconfused about the speciality of an Assam silk saree then go through the\nfollowing pointers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The borders in an Assam silk saree are woven and attached separately. You may ask why so? The answer to this query is quite simple. Assam silk sarees are completely hand-woven. It takes more than a month to complete one Muga silk saree. The borders of these sarees are woven and attached separately along the border lengths. There are altogether 3 joints stitched in the upper end whereas 4 joints could be noticed at the lower end of the saree. If you find small joints in the border areas in your Assam saree, do not panic. It is not physically feasible for any weaver to weave such elaborated borders along the saree length and hence they opt for joining them separately. This is also done to provide a strong and stout support to the saree. Muga silk is itself quite a strong fiber but the border lengths require special support and this is why the joints are made to be attached separately.<\/li>
  2. The price factor is always there. This is a handloom product and it would not cost you any less than 6,500\/- for an authentic pure Assam silk saree. You can try different stores but just remember not to get duped as there are several fake products available all over. <\/li>
  3. Essentially they use resham for weaving an Assam silk saree but in a few pieces you may find a little zari as well. Colorful resham used in weaving an Assam silk makes these sarees as rich as the Assamese culture.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
