Xiangyunsha: A Thousand Years of Tradition

Xiangyunsha is a traditional silk fabric with a long history, originating from Shunde, Guangdong Province, China.
It is created using a rare dyeing technique recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage and is also known as "black gold silk."

Xiangyunsha uses 100% silk (mulberry silk). It is meticulously crafted using traditional methods, involving repeated dyeing with a plant-derived dye solution from dioscorea cirrhosa, followed by applying natural river mud and repeated sun-drying.

After repeatedly applying unique river mud to one side and drying it, the fabric is then sand-washed to soften it.
This process ultimately creates a fabric with a metallic black luster, featuring a brownish-red and black surface.

Finished Xiangyunsha is soft and elastic, with a firm and durable structure, characterized by its high quality and lustrous texture. It has a cool and non-sticky feel.

As Xiangyunsha silk is a natural material, repeated washing will naturally cause the color to fade,
but this is a normal phenomenon.
The muddy coating on the surface gradually wears off, revealing the yellow base color.
This is why it is called 'Soft Gold'.

Care Instructions

Xiangyunsha is a delicate material with natural dyes. To preserve its beautiful texture for a long time, we recommend the following care:

• Avoid using washing machines and tumble dryers.
• Gently hand wash in cold water below 30°C using a neutral detergent.
• Do not rub vigorously or wring out.
• Reshape flat and air dry naturally in a well-ventilated shade.
• Prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, deodorizing sprays, and insect repellents.
• Store in a dry place, separated by dark and light colors.

*Due to the characteristics of natural materials and traditional dyeing, there are individual differences in color unevenness, texture, delicate wrinkles (crack patterns) like cracks, and color changes over time. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of each Xiangyunsha piece.
