What is Mulmul Fabric?

  • Mulmul fabric is so light and sensitive that it is frequently referred to as "wonder gossamer" or "woven wind."
  • It is ideal for hot summers because of its ability to absorb sweat and keep the user cool and comfortable.
  • It was initially woven by Bengali weavers almost 100 years ago.
  • Mulmul cotton cloth was a treasured Indian import to the territories of England and Scotland.
  • It first appeared on the market there, and afterward, gradually the continent's countries began to manufacture it.
