Fabric description: 65% rayon + 35% mulberry silk Guanle crepe
Guanle crepe is a very wrinkle-resistant fabric among silk. The characteristics of Guanle crepe: its texture resembles a rooster’s comb, thus named Guanle crepe. Also, because it has a strong texture, it is much more wrinkle-resistant than other silk fabrics. The three-dimensional effect determines that the luster of the printed patterns is very high, and the base fabric has the matte feel of crepe. The overall texture is excellent.

Color description: Black snail ink
Slowly getting up to paint the eyebrows, taking time to groom and wash. Black snail ink is a high-end black color, derived from the eyebrow dyeing material presented by Persia to the Qing Dynasty. Only the highest-ranking concubines in the imperial harem or those specially favored by the emperor had the opportunity to use it. It is made from grinding the powder of sea snails from the Mediterranean. Because of its slow growth and reproduction, it is rare and difficult to obtain, and it needs to be transported via the Silk Road. The preciousness of black snail ink is self-evident. Black snail ink black gives a sense of “green mountains with dark green, near water with mist”, a high-end feeling.

Pattern description: Plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum pattern
Since ancient times, people have held a deep affection for nature and are closely connected with all things. Those literary figures and scholars who have been passed down through the ages have entrusted their true feelings to every flower, every grass, every stone, and every tree, making them a source of comfort for the soul. Among them, the four gentlemen of flowers – plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum – are particularly representative. They respectively symbolize the qualities of integrity, elegance, simplicity, and freedom, becoming the spiritual and cultural symbols of the Chinese people.
Plum blossoms are resolute and unyielding, unafraid of the cold, blooming alone in early spring, demonstrating an unflinching spirit; orchids are elegant and refined, quietly blooming in the valleys, exuding a refined and pure fragrance; bamboo is simple and upright, tall and slender, unyielding, showcasing a tenacious quality; chrysanthemums are free and unrestrained, standing tall in the autumn wind, unafraid of withering, fully expressing a free and unrestrained sentiment.

The cheongsam made of Guanle crepe fabric in black snail ink gives a fresh and high-end feeling.
