Indian Jute
Jute is a natural fibre, having all the qualities of a textile fibre. It is available in inexhaustible quantities at competitive prices. It is now possible to visualise jute not only as a major textile fibre, but also as a raw material for non-textile products which help to protect environment - now accepted as an integral part of any development planning.
The Indian jute sector, comprising the organised jute industry and a vast informal sector of tiny and small units produce materials which are not only durable, but also attractive from the aesthetic sense. Numerous end-products have been found from the golden fibre for the connoisseurs.
A Connoisseurs Choice
The versatility of Jute, the Golden Fibre, has found expression in the rapid expansion of a wide range of life style consumer products. Spinning of high quality yarns and weaving of light-weight fine-textured fabrics of uniform structure in exotic colours and designs are made in both jute factories and handloom sectors. With vastly improved bleaching, dyeing and finishing processes and by blending jute with other natural or synthetic fibres, the finished jute products now ensure feel, lustre, abrasion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Jute has several consumer products to offer like carpets & floorcoverings, wallcoverings & window dressings, table mats & table-wares, wall hangings & room decors, bedspreads & bedroom slippers, blankets & shawls, skirts & jackets, shopping & travel bags and a host of other home textile made ups.
The traditional excellence of Indian craftsmen & artisans is reflected in a wide range of jute handicrafts of utility, decoration and novelty.
