Bengal Muslin, also known as Dhaka Muslin, has a storied history that dates back over two millennia. Originating in the Bengal region, particularly around Dhaka now in Bangladesh and Murshidabad in West Bengal, India, Bengal Muslin was renowned for its unparalleled fineness, delicacy, and luxurious feel.
Bengal Muslin was revered for its exceptional quality, often described as woven air or cloth of air due to its incredibly fine and translucent texture. Made from exceptionally fine cotton yarn, hand-spun by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The history of Bengal Muslin Silk can be traced back to the Mughal era, where it was highly prized by royalty, nobility, and affluent merchants throughout the Indian subcontinent and beyond.
