Mashru is a vibrant and sleek fabric, and often called the master of satin finishes. The word means ‘Permitted’ in Arabic, while the Sanskrit translation, ‘Misru’ means ‘Mixed’. Mashru fabric hails from West Asia where the Muslim community popularised the fabric because of its utility factor. Mashru was a popular fabric in the 19th century, expanding its reach to the Ottoman Empire and Gulf countries.Mashru fabric exhibits a shiny appearance along with the comfort of silk and cotton. Post the crafting part, the fabric gets a makeover with a proper wash, followed by rigorous hammering while it’s wet. Glazing a paste of wheat flour maintains the consistency of the fresh material. With the help of natural vegetable dyes, finally, colour is added to the luxurious Mashru fabric.
