**NWOT ** Placement Print Swing Long Skirt 100% Silk Tea Silk

**NWOT ** 100% Tea Silk Tea silk or xiangyunsha, (which translates as ‘fragrant cloud organdy’) is silk which has been through a complicated natural dye process with traditions that date back to the Ming Dynasty (14th – 17th century), when it was considered to be the most luxurious fabric. The silk is dyed 30 to 40 times with a type of tannin-rich yam, and laid out flat to dry between each immersion. It is covered with a particular type of uncontaminated, iron rich river mud, which endows it with its characteristic dark sheen. In the past, the silk was washed in a stew of leftover tea of it’s namesake before finishing. The process results in a natural, uneven shading; dark on one side and a rust brown on the reverse. The lustrous finish increases with age, like a pearl and as the material ages, the colour darkens and texture softens. These magical qualities mean that sometimes the silk is stored for years, before being fashioned into hand-stitched clothes.
