Shanghai Heritage 'Chroma Weave' - 6-Meter Roll of Purple-Red Checked Southern Tǔbù

Step back in time with this extraordinary piece of family weaving history. Handcrafted on household looms during the 1950s-60s, this vibrant Fengxian checkered cloth represents the peak of Shanghai's home weaving tradition. Each meter of this 6-meter continuous roll tells the story of skilled hands transforming cotton threads into practical art.

The rich purple-red check pattern, woven with contrasting colors across the 58cm width, showcases the distinctive aesthetic choices of its era. What makes this fabric truly special is its origin - not from factories, but from family workshops where weaving was both livelihood and legacy. The substantial 780g weight (1.72 lbs) speaks to the quality and density achievable through meticulous hand-weaving techniques.
