Besides China's cheap goods, I would also like to talk about one of them-China silk. ?

Because of its natural protein structure, silk is the least allergic of all fabrics.

Silk is an all-weather fabric, which is warm and comfortable in winter and cool and comfortable when the temperature rises. Its natural temperature regulation characteristics endow silk with the ability to cool and warm at the same time. Therefore, whether in summer or winter, the performance of silk clothing is better than other fabrics. As the second layer, the silk is warm and not bloated.

Silk is very absorbent. It can absorb 30% of its own weight without getting wet. Silk absorbs sweat and breathes your skin.

Although silk looks exquisite, it is relatively strong. Its smooth surface can resist dirt and odor well. Silk is crease-resistant and tear-resistant, and it dries quickly.

Although silk has moderate wear resistance, it is the strongest natural fiber, and surprisingly, it can easily compete with steel wire in tensile strength

Silk is easy to color, wash, weave and sew.

Silk blends well with other animal and plant fibers.
