The Gold Standard of Silk: Why Rajshahi Silk is Called the Queen of Fibers

Nestled in Bangladesh’s fertile northwest, the region of Rajshahi produces what textile experts consider some of the finest silk in the world. Here’s why:

Unmatched Texture: Rajshahi silk is renowned for its incredibly soft, smooth, and lustrous finish—a feel of liquid weightlessness against the skin that cheaper, blended silks cannot replicate.

Natural Thermoregulation: Unlike synthetic fabrics, this pure silk is breathable in summer and cozy in winter, making it perfect for Canada’s dynamic climate.

Timeless Durability: With proper care, a Rajshahi silk scarf isn’t an accessory for a season; it’s a companion for life, growing softer and more luminous with age.

At ArtisCan, we don’t just sell products— we curate heirlooms. And behind every heirloom is a story. Today, we pull back the curtain on the heart of our most luxurious collection: the scarves woven from 100% pure Rajshahi silk, the undisputed crown jewel of Bangladesh. Our process is built on patience and principle:

- We work directly with small-scale, ethical Rajshahi cooperatives that prioritize traditional hand-reeling techniques over mass production. 

- From the women who tend the mulberry trees to the master weavers and the Ottawa-based designers who envision the final product, every scarf is a testament to cross-continental collaboration.

Experience the Rajshahi Difference!
