In a textile town in India, I found a specialty store that deals only in scraps.
The bright neon colored fabric is from the sari, the traditional dress worn by Indian women.
A sari is a single piece of cloth 5 to 9 meters long that is wrapped around the body, making the fabric thin and light. It was not strong enough to be used for making bags, so the lining was made from white toweling fabric.

Size: approx. ø200 x H250mm
Material: Polyester, Cotton, Used Belt
Because the fabric is thin and delicate, there are some areas where the threads are loose (6th image) or twisted, creating holes (7th image). Because the lining is made of a towel, the pile may be sticking out or frayed. The belt is used and may be dirty or yellowed. If exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent lights for a long period of time, the color may fade or discolor.
