Blue Eight-treasure Gourd Zhang Velvet Satin Silk Vest

Description

Blue Eight-treasure Gourd Zhang Velvet Satin Silk Vest originated from the traditional Zhang Velvet weaving technique in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province in the Ming Dynasty, which was the first of the imperial fabrics in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The fabric takes the unique mulberry silk as the pile warp, adopts a unique ‘ double warp ‘ weaving system, and forms a three-dimensional pile ring through the ‘ pile rod ‘ process.
The craftsmen need to manually use the technique of ‘ carving and cutting velvet ‘ to cut some of the loops into fine fluff, forming an embossed texture of ‘ flowers are in the fluff and the fluffy ground is clear ‘. Each inch of the fabric reflects a deep blue luster like a jewel.
The pattern is based on the classic ‘ Eight Treasure Gourd ‘, which skillfully integrates the gourd shape symbolizing Fu Lu with the Taoist Eight Immortals or Buddhist Eight Treasure ( such as pearls, Fangsheng, ancient money, etc. ).
Gourd vine winding, meaning ‘ melon continuous, children and grandchildren ‘, eight treasures embellish them, set Zhaocai, Nafu, Zhenzhai in one, showing the perfection and auspiciousness of Oriental philosophy.
The vest lining uses high-grade 100 % silk fibroin satin, which is skin-friendly and breathable. The deep blue tone calms the atmosphere, and it is recommended to build a moon white or toothed collar silk shirt to create a ‘ new Chinese ‘ elegant bookish style ; it can also be superimposed on a dark high-collar bottom shirt with a horse skirt to highlight the low-key and luxurious non-heritage charm between the light and shadow circulation.
