A truly striking 100% mulberry silk twill featuring an elegant Chinese-inspired design of phoenixes, bamboo, and peonies woven across a rich imperial purple ground in contrasting soft blue-green.
The color combination is especially beautiful — deep purple with cool jade-toned motifs gives the fabric a dramatic, refined appearance with a distinctly classical East Asian character. The phoenixes move between flowering peonies and bamboo branches, creating a balanced allover composition that feels ornate without becoming overly crowded.
Woven in a fine silk twill, the fabric has subtle diagonal ribs across the surface, giving it more body and resilience than a very lightweight plain-weave silk. It has a smooth, lustrous finish, excellent drape, and a substantial silky hand, while still remaining fluid enough for dresses and flowing garments.
At approximately 19.5 momme, this is a relatively substantial silk quality with good structure, wrinkle resistance, and an elegant fall. It is opaque / not sheer.
With a full 3-meter length, this is an especially beautiful piece for a statement garment where the rich color and traditional motifs can really be appreciated.
