Silk Fabric

Mulberry silk fabrics are divided into raw silk and boiled-off silk. The raw silk is hard and looks neat when worn. The boiled-off silk is smooth and soft and has a silk touch. It is very comfortable, but it is fragile

Different clothing fabrics also determine the different printing and dyeing methods and colors. Generally speaking, mulberry silk is fine in material, and its printing and dyeing are mostly based on simple and elegant colors, while polyester fiber is “easygoing”, so it has more colorful colors.
