Where can I get secondhand silk fabric?

Any suggestions where I could look to find second hand silk? (or 'peace silk')

Lighter weight and shiny rather than heavier, so more like habotai than tussah. I also love raw silk too (especially dual toned). And red, blue, white/off white, black are the main colours I?d like to get. I?d only need a meter or so of each colour.

i've never heard of a market in second-hand silk sarees but you might want to look into 'ahimsa silk' which is produced from the discarded cocoons of silkworms. however the fabric quality is usually poorer than silk made using production methods which involve boiling the cocoons (with the silkworm larvae inside!). and tussore/tussah silk is also usually made from discarded cocoons.
