At FARA Boutique, every piece we create is more than just a garment—it’s a celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and conscious living. At the heart of our designs lies wild silk, a fabric as unique as the women who wear it. Here’s the story behind wild silk—its sustainable beauty, artisanal roots, and how it becomes one of our signature pieces: the Alice Crop Top.
Wild silk is a beautiful example of nature’s brilliance and ethical practices. Unlike conventional silk, which involves intensive farming and harms silkworms, wild silk comes from cocoons left behind by moths in their natural habitat. This cruelty-free process allows moths to complete their life cycle, making it an eco-friendly alternative.
But wild silk isn’t just ethical—it’s stunning. Its natural variations create a texture and depth that give it a raw, organic beauty. It’s soft, breathable, and has a subtle sheen that makes it feel luxurious and grounded.
Transforming wild silk into exquisite garments is an art form, one perfected by our skilled Varanasi artisans. Generations of craftspeople have spent their lives perfecting this craft, which uses time-honoured hand-weaving techniques to elevate wild raw silk into luxurious textiles.
Each piece is made in small batches to ensure exceptional attention to detail. For example, the warm Camel of the Alice Crop Top comes from hand-dyeing methods that reduce waste while enhancing the fabric’s natural charm. Also available in other eco-friendly hand-dyed hues—rich Cinnamon, and classic Black—each piece offers a unique charm. For the purist, our undyed Natural version celebrates silk's raw, organic beauty. Every garment carries the story of the artisans behind it—a blend of heritage, artistry, and dedication.
The Alice Crop Top embodies everything we love about wild silk—natural beauty, timeless design, and thoughtful craftsmanship. With its tie-back silhouette and cropped fit, it’s both sophisticated and versatile. The Black shade, a chic option for day-to-night elegance, makes it easy to style with almost anything in your wardrobe.
Each top is handcrafted with care, ensuring no two are exactly alike. This uniqueness reflects FARA’s dedication to quality, sustainability, and individuality.
The Alice Crop Top's versatile design makes it a staple for various looks:
Classic Black Elegance: Pair it with our wild silk Rory Trousers for a chic monochromatic look.
Undyed Natural Sophistication: Style it with earthy accessories and our chiffon Free Flow Skirt for a breezy, carefree feel.
Bohemian Cinnamon Charm: Match it with our high-waisted Palm Shorts for a polished yet casual vibe.
Whether you’re dressing up or down, the Alice Crop Top’s versatility ensures it’ll be a timeless go-to in your collection.
At FARA Boutique, ethical fashion is at the core of what we do. By working with artisans, we help preserve traditional crafts and support their communities. Our small-batch approach allows us to focus on quality while reducing waste and our environmental footprint.
Choosing FARA Boutique means more than buying a garment—it’s about embracing sustainability, celebrating artistry, and making a meaningful connection to what you wear. Every piece carries the spirit of the people who made it, turning fashion into something personal and purposeful.
Wild silk is more than just a fabric—it’s a connection to nature, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a commitment to ethical fashion. Wearing the Alice Crop Top is a way to embrace this story of sustainability, tradition, and timeless beauty. Shop now to experience our Wild Silk Collection.
