Resham Shilpi is a great initiative of the Government of West Bengal to promote silk products made by traditional weavers. They launched two stores in Gariahat and New Town for patrons.

Gracing the event at both the stores were actress and MP, June Malia.

Speaking at the launch, June Malia said “The prices are reasonable and the designs are amazing. Not only for women, the stores have products for men and kids as well. All these have been made by the women in the villages. I urge everyone to come to the shops and make the purchase. Though online shopping is popular now, feeling the product and buying it gives one a different feeling. You get what you see”.

Resham Shilpi’s chain of stores is operated by the Paschim Banga Resham Shilpi Samabaya Mahasanga Ltd (PBRSSM Ltd) under the aegis of the Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal.

The stores have something to offer for both the young and the old alike. Their range of offerings include silk printed saree, Tussar printed saree, Garad, Baluchari, Katan silk, Kalakshetra, Matka, Batik print, Hand woven and Hand painted, embroidery, cotton saree, Kantha stitch saree and kurta for women.

Kurtas and shirts for men are also available for men.

The two new stores also launched two new products- kid’s wear and eco-printed men’s wear.

Both the stores will remain open daily excluding public holidays.
