Aprudha Mulmul Cotton Bags – A Heritage Way to Preserve Your Treasures
In the bygone days of the British era, muslin (now popularly called mulmul) was known as the softest cotton weave ever created by human hands. The muslin of that time had an extraordinary thread count that went up to an unimaginable 1200 threads per inch — a craftsmanship feat that remains unmatched even today.
These ethereal fabrics were woven so finely that the threads were almost invisible, spun only by the sharp, steady eyes of young girls. The weave was airy, breathable, and delicate — soft enough to be compared to a whisper, yet strong enough to last generations.
Our great-grandmothers knew the value of such fabric. They used mulmul to wrap their most prized possessions — pure silk sarees, zari-bordered Kanchipurams, Banarasi silks, heirloom pashmina shawls — treasures that were too rare and expensive to be left unprotected. At a time when all garments were handwoven, mulmul wasn’t just fabric, it was a guardian of heritage.
Why Breathability Matters
Fabrics like pure silk and zari are vulnerable to the oxidation process — the reason why zari borders can turn black over time. Without proper storage, delicate fibers can weaken, lose their sheen, or even fall prey to moths and insects. Mulmul’s natural breathability allows air to circulate while keeping dust and pests out. This balance prevents damage caused by moisture or suffocation — something synthetic covers can never achieve.
Aprudha’s Modern Revival of Mulmul
Today’s mulmul no longer has the astronomical thread count of its historic counterpart — such craftsmanship has vanished with time — but its softness and delicate weave still remain unmatched in the cotton world. Aprudha has revived this tradition with pure mulmul cotton bags, tailored for the preservation of your most cherished textiles.
Each Aprudha Mulmul Cotton Bag is made from unbleached, chemical-free cotton that lets the fabric breathe naturally. This makes it an ideal choice for storing heirloom silks, Banarasi zari sarees, Kanchipurams, and even luxury pashmina shawls or stoles.
For Pashminas – Protection from Moths & Insects
Pashmina is as delicate as it is precious. When not stored properly, it can attract moths, silverfish, and other fabric pests. Plastic covers trap moisture and suffocate the fabric, while open storage invites insects. Aprudha Mulmul Bags strike the perfect balance — they enclose your pashmina securely while allowing it to breathe, preventing insect infestation naturally.
