Handwoven Ramie Summer Cloth - Natural & Unrefined

This authentic heritage fabric, known as "Xiàbù" (Summer Cloth) in traditional Chinese culture, represents generations of warm-weather wisdom. Woven entirely by hand from 100% natural ramie fiber, this textile embodies rustic authenticity with its characteristically coarse texture and substantial hand-feel. Measuring 54cm wide - an exceptionally generous width for hand-loomed cloth - this sturdy material was traditionally used for summer garments that provided cool comfort in humid climates. Today, its substantial drape and natural texture make it ideal for creating room dividers, door curtains, and other home accents that celebrate uncompromising natural beauty.
