Gambiered Canton Silk (also known as Mud Silk) is a traditional and special silk fabric produced only in Shunde Guangdong which is dyed with plant and then with local mud. It takes months to produce and each production is unique with limited metres. Due to its handmade procedure, all the fabrics will naturally have few black spots, white/brown marks, color stains, etc, especially on the back side of the silk. It also will have small holes, color difference and scratches on the 5cm fabric edge.This special silk fabric is durable and easy to sew. A dream material for summer garments. I use it a lot for cozy, cool, casual summer pants.

WASHING GUIDE ✨ for mud silk
