Bengaluru, August 2022, while celebrating important functions and festivals, women all over India choose to wear Pure Silk – the Queen of Textiles. As consumers looking to buy pure silks, it is their right to get 100% pure silk. However, many get cheated by unscrupulous traders selling impure silk which are made up of cheaper options like Viscose Rayon, Polyester, Nylon etc. in the name of pure silk.
Silk Mark Organization of India, an initiative of Central Silk Board, Ministry of Textiles, Government of India organizes Silk Mark Expos all over the country to ensure the discerning silk loving consumers get an opportunity to see and buy 100% pure silk products from across India. These expos also provide a platform to the genuine Weavers, Co-operatives, Societies, Women Entrepreneurs, Traders, etc. to showcase and sell their products to consumers who understand the value of pure silk.

In addition to that, one can be absolutely sure that each and every product being sold at the expo is 100% pure silk assured by the Silk Mark Label. There is also a live Silk Testing Counter at the expo to ensure one is able to test the purity of the silk they purchase instantly absolutely free of cost.
