What is the difference between Gauze Silk and regular silk?
Kangding sha is a special silk fabric treated with unique craftsmanship, dyed using rhizome and river mud. It features a distinctive matte finish along with antimicrobial and anti-mold properties. In contrast, standard silk boasts a bright sheen but lacks functional benefits.
Why is Ganfan considered a fabric that becomes more valuable the more you wear it?
Xiangyun Sha is the only fabric that becomes softer and smoother with every wear. New material starts stiff but reaches its optimal condition after six months to a year of use. Its color fades evenly, developing an antique patina. Vintage Xiangyun Sha stored for over 3 years commands a premium of 5%–100%.
