The magic of Kesi lies in the delicate silk threads that create stunning patterns while preserving centuries of tradition. Silk is a symbol of China's rich cultural heritage. From the vibrant fabrics of Yun and Song brocade to ancient silk scrolls that carried handwritten words, silk has been a part of Chinese life in numerous ways. The threads, spun by tiny silkworms, are carefully gathered and unwound, and then woven into beautiful creations that continue to amaze and inspire us.
