Are the first images that come to mind when you think of silk?
Tussah is a type of silk originating from India. In its homeland, Tussah is produced from the larvae of some species of oak-eating silkworms belonging to the moth genus Antheraea Mylitta, Antheraca Proylei, Antherea Pernyi.

In Vietnam, Tussah symbolizes imperfect beauty because of the intricacy and difference in the production process, creating the luxury of this high-class material.
