Mashru is derived from the Arabic word '' Mashru'', meaning permitted (or) allowed. The silk is believed to have originated in the Middle East and later flourished in regions of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India around the 14th and 15th century.

Traditional mashru fabrics are recognized for their vibrant colours, striped patterns, geometric motifs, and lustrous finish. The fabric was developed to combine the luxury of silk with everyday comfort, making it popular among royals, traders and nobility.

Mashru is known for its unique construction, where silk is woven on the outer surface and cotton on the inner side. The weaving process involves a complex interlacing of silk and cotton yarns, requiring skilled craftsmanship to achieve its signature texture and sheen.

Today Mashru Silk is widely used for kurtas, dresses, co-ord sets, tops, jackets, and festive wear and stands for quiet luxury.
