Song brocade originated in the Spring and Autumn period and was formed in the Song Dynasty. Later, when people talked about brocade, they would always mention the Song Dynasty, and thus the name “Song brocade” came into being. It was later endowed with the title of “the crown of Chinese brocade” and can be regarded as a top-level existence among traditional Chinese fabrics. The production process of Song brocade is rather complex, with the main feature being that both the warp and weft threads show patterns. In terms of patterns and designs, they are symmetrical, rigorous yet varied, rich and colorful, and smooth and vivid.

Turtle-patterned Xiangyunsha is a kind of silk fabric with unique crack patterns similar to the back of a turtle shell. It is made from the continuous long fibers formed by the solidification of the silk liquid secreted by mature silkworms when they spin cocoons. It has the characteristics of being cool and comfortable, easy to wash and dry quickly, deep in color and resistant to dirt, not sticking to the skin, light and thin but not easily wrinkled, and soft yet with good body. Xiangyunsha is the only silk fabric in the world that is dyed with pure plant dyes, so it does not irritate human skin and is very suitable for people with sensitive skin.
