Silk Fabric Supplier to Salem
Fabloom weaves silk and linen at its own unit in Bhagalpur, Bihar and supplies Salem by despatch. We have no shop and no loom in Salem, and we would rather say so than imply a local presence we do not have.
Salem has its own silk weaving tradition and a trade that reads yarn quality closely, which makes it a discerning market for handloom silk brought in from another belt.
Who buys from us in Salem
Our Salem enquiries come mainly from silk traders, weaving units sourcing complementary cloth, and retail showrooms. Salem buyers know silk well enough to test it, and several have come to us after finding that a cheaper tussar elsewhere was blended. Ours is not, and we will say what the yarn is.
What we recommend for Salem
For Salem we most often recommend raw tussar with its natural golden sheen, and the slubbed Bhagalpur handloom silk that reads differently from South Indian mulberry. Salem buyers usually want to feel the slub before committing, so we send a cut swatch set first rather than pushing straight to a bulk quote.
And what we would not recommend: We would not offer our digital print range as the lead product in Salem. This is a market that buys silk for its weave and lustre, and a print obscures exactly what the buyer is paying for.
Ordering and despatch to Salem
Salem consignments travel by surface transport and are delivered to the trade address on the invoice. We seal each roll so the cloth is not handled between our finishing floor and yours.
Salem trade lifts through the wedding season and again ahead of Pongal, with quieter stretches in between that are the best time to trial a new weave.
Salem orders sit mostly in the mid range, larger than a boutique lot and smaller than an export run. We are comfortable at that size and quote without pushing you toward a bale.
Burn-test a thread from our swatch if you want to be certain of the fibre. It is the oldest test in the trade and we have no problem with buyers using it on our cloth.

Salem — questions we get asked
Is your tussar the same as South Indian tussar?
No, and that is the point. Bhagalpur tussar carries a heavier slub and a different sheen from the tussar woven in the South, which is why it sells alongside local stock rather than against it.
Do you have a showroom or unit in Salem?
No. Our looms, dyeing and finishing are all at Bhagalpur. Salem consignments travel by surface transport and are delivered to the trade address on the invoice. We seal each roll so the cloth is not handled between our finishing floor and yours.
Can I see the fabric before ordering?
Yes — we send cut swatches to Salem so you can judge hand-feel, weight and shade in person. Tell us on the enquiry form which fabrics you are weighing up and we will cut those rather than sending a generic set.
