Collection: Tanchoi Silk Fabric Online
Tanchoi Silk carries one of the more quietly remarkable origin stories in Indian textile. In 1856, three brothers from the Joshi family of Surat travelled to China at the request of Parsi merchant Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, learned a complex silk weaving technique from their Chinese teacher Chhoi, and returned to weave it into Indian cloth. The name Tanchoi comes from those three brothers — "tran" means three in Gujarati, and "Chhoi" was their teacher. Banaras later adopted and refined the technique, adding zari into the weft and expanding the motif vocabulary into elaborate floral and buta patterns. TradeUNO brings this fabric in zari meena boota and zari booti designs at 44 inches wide — smooth, satin-finished, and suited to sarees, blouses, and festive pieces that deserve a fabric with a story behind it.
