With time, dedication and passion, the mulberry leaves become a stunning silk gown” — Chinese proverb Silk has been a material of sophistication since the medieval ages. Kings and queens have adorned themselves with the garb considering it as one of their finest possession along with shimmering gold and luxurious stones. Being mentioned in so many poems, being the muse of the romantics, silk has a reputation to live up to. Everything, from the culturing to the fineness of the finished fabric, has an interesting story to tell. It’s interesting to see the significance of silk has also been borrowed into many metaphors. ‘Smooth as silk’, ‘Hair like silk’ – a testament to the cloth’s fineness. Bangladesh is a land of Silk and most of it comes from the beautiful city of Rajshahi. There are mainly three varieties of silks – Mulberry, Endi and Tassar. Mulberry silk is the most finest and therefore more expensive. Sarees, dresses and scarves are widely made out of this delicate cloth. To me, silk is always the material of sophistication. Wear our designer scarves adorned with Nakshi Kantha stitches and embroidery and make your very own statement to the world!

Jute is a renewable natural fiber and it is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It is one of the cheapest natural fibers and in addition, after cotton, the most widely used. It’s fiber that can be spun into strong threads. The plants from which jute is obtained occurs mainly in hot, humid areas such as Bangladesh, China and India. It is one of the few crops in the world that can be grown in the same farmland during monsoon season, and after harvesting, rice paddy can be planted on the same soil. So this rotational farming restores the soil fertility and structure. The leaves of jute plants enrich the fertility of the soil for sustained agriculture and have good nutrition value as vegetables. The use of jute sticks as fuel and fencing material as substitutes for wood prevents deforestation. Therefore, with the increased global concern for the environment, the prospects for jute continue to remain high. Jute leaves are also beneficial to health. It is high in calcium and magnesium – two minerals that are essential for daily bodily functions. The combination of both minerals is especially important in maintaining bone health as they work in tandem to help form and maintain strong bones and teeth. Ethnique Vale promotes this golden fiber of Bangladesh. Through our brand, we are investing in developing shopping bags, home décor, promotional items using this golden fiber. Through promotion of these products, we aim to raise awareness among customers to use our eco-friendly products. I personally love to use jute based products because of its multiple benefits and advantages.  durability very low CO2 footprint very low water footprint very low ecological footprint biodegradable and 100% compostable extremely strong jute bags are reusable and therefore environmentally friendly it’s trendy! So start using a jute bag and any other jute made product today and show the world that you are an “eco friendly” ambassador and support the climate change agenda.

Weaving Nakshi stitches is an art nurtured by village women. Different patterns, designs and unique motifs reflect this age-old art form in our silk scarves. Nakshi Kantha is the reflection of life, aspirations and culture of the village women of Bengal. The motifs used in Nakshi-Kantha Work are symbols that have a special place in the folk art tradition of Bangladesh. The rural women express their feelings through folk art. Nakshi Kanth is a type of traditional embroidery art form that is quite unique to Bangladesh. However, a notable difference can be seen in nakshi kanthas made in Jashore, Rajshahi, Kushtia and Jamalpur. By looking at the stitches one can identify the origin of the nakshi. I like Nakshi Kantha for many reasons. Even though it can be time consuming and requires a huge amount of patience, it is reasonably easy to stitch. It can also be embroidered on old clothes, like sarees, to make a light quilt. Women in almost every household in rural villages are more or less kantha experts. They spend whatever quiet time they have available – between looking after the house and children, tending to livestock and during the long days of the monsoon – on stitching the pieces. It can take months or even years to complete one large kantha piece, especially if it is depicting a story through various stitch patterns and motifs. These stitchings are handed down through generations.
