Iangyun silk. Heritage craft.
An exceptionally rare expression of Chinese textile heritage, this all-silk black suiting set is crafted from Xiangyun silk—an intangible cultural treasure dyed with Dioscorea plant extracts and sun-dried over 30+ steps. The result: a cracked, burnished texture with moonlit depth and river-washed elegance.
Each suit is shaped by time, sunlight, and human hands—never mass-produced, never repeated.

Craftsmanship & Legacy
-
Intangible Heritage Process:
Xiangyun silk is the only silk in the world dyed using Dioscorea root extract. It’s soaked, turned by hand, and layered with clean river mud—then sun-dried until the surface begins to crack naturally. -
Naturally Limited:
The process depends entirely on weather and natural elements. Because each suit must be cut by hand and is vulnerable to waste during fabrication, quantities are extremely small. -
Artisan Level:
Made in major heritage workshops by master craftsmen trained in techniques passed down for generations.
Fit & Styling
This is slow fashion at its most refined: a powerful silhouette softened by natural texture. Designed to be worn with intention—whether for quiet evenings, gallery days, or refined travel.
Pair with sculptural jewelry and polished flats for a grounded, timeless look.
