As the days warm up and layers come off, it’s time to reach for fabrics that feel effortless, breathable, and quietly elegant. Enter Nuni silk—an ultra-light, sheer silk traditionally woven by women artisans in Assam, and one of the most underrated gems in sustainable fashion.
Whether you’re heading out for a sunlit lunch or packing light for a summer escape, Nuni silk offers the kind of ease and grace that spring-summer wardrobes dream of.

Whisper-Light and Airy
One of the finest silks in the world, Nuni silk is gauzy and featherlight, often compared to muslin in its sheerness but with the softness of silk. When worn, it barely feels like anything on your skin—just a gentle brush of fabric that moves with the breeze. This makes it perfect for high summer days when even cotton can feel too heavy.
It’s like wearing the idea of a fabric, not the fabric itself.
Hypoallergenic and Skin-Loving
Silk is naturally hypoallergenic, and Nuni is no exception. Thanks to its pure, untreated fibers and minimal processing, Nuni silk is gentle on sensitive skin, free from harsh chemicals or finishes. It’s a smart choice for those prone to irritation, and it works beautifully in direct contact with the body—whether as a wrap, blouse, or scarf.
Your skin stays cool, calm, and unbothered—even when the sun’s doing its thing.

Breathable with Natural Thermoregulation
Nuni silk is loosely woven, allowing for generous airflow—so it breathes with your body. It keeps you cool in the heat and regulates temperature better than synthetic blends. You’ll never feel sticky or suffocated in it, even after hours under the sun. The light weave also dries quickly, making it ideal for travel or humid climates.
It’s the kind of fabric you want to live in all summer.
Subtle Matte Elegance
Unlike high-sheen silks that can feel too formal or flashy, Nuni has a quiet, matte glow. It catches light in a soft, understated way that flatters all skin tones and transitions easily from day to evening. The texture feels both luxurious and natural—unpolished, in the best way.
Effortless elegance without trying too hard.
Made for Layering and Movement
Because of its transparency and softness, Nuni is perfect for layering over simple cotton slips, bralettes, or even swimwear. It drapes beautifully and moves with grace, whether you wear it as a flowing overlay, a long blouse, or a summer scarf. You can dress it up or down—either way, it elevates your outfit while keeping things breathable.

Rooted in Craft, Woven for the Present
Traditionally woven by women artisans in Assam, Nuni silk represents a living craft, passed down through generations. Each piece carries a story of care, skill, and time—making it not just a fashion choice, but a cultural one. Choosing Nuni means supporting craft preservation while embracing a textile that’s remarkably suited for modern, mindful living.
It’s slow fashion at its softest and most soulful.
In a season of lightness, choose a fabric that floats with you.
