HANGZHOU SILK ORIGIN
FROM A SILK CITY, SELECTED
FOR TODAY
SILKAVO selects Hangzhou silk for its quiet lustre, refined drape, and connection to one of China's most recognised sik cultures. We presen that heritage in a modern European wardrobe language.
Hangzhou's silk reputation is part of a broader Chinese sericulture tradition recognised by UNESCO, connecting material beauty with a long craft culture.
MULBERRY TO COCOON
Silk begins with a living agricultural system: mulberry leaves, silkworms, cocoons, and careful harvesting.
COCOON TO THREAD
Fine filaments are reeled, prepared, and carried forward into yarns and woven surfaces with a natural sheen.
MATERIALS
TEXTURE DOES THE TALKING
The best material stories are visual. SlLKAVO uses close details so shoppers can read lustre, weave, handle, and long-wear potential at a glance.
FROM MULBERRY TO SILK
A MATERIAL SHAPED BY
MANY CAREFUL STEPS
The silk story is not a single moment. it moves from growing and feeding to cocoon selection, reeling, yarn preparation, dyeing, weaving, cutting, and finishing.
01
SERICULTURE
Mulberry leaves support silkworm cultivation and connect silk to an agricultural landscape.
02
REELING
Cocoons are prepared so fine silk filaments can be drawn into continuous thread.
03
WEAVING
Thread becomes fabric through weave, density, colour, and surface structure
04
FINISHING
Cutting, pressing, and final handling decide how a tie or scarf feels in rea! use.
FROM SILK TO TIE
CRAFT MADE VISIBLE
A silk tie is small, but the construction matters: bias-cut panels, lining, fold, slip stitch, pressing, and the way the knot returns after wear.
Bias-cut fabric
Cutting helps the tie sit cleanly and recover its shape with better drape.
Lining and fold
The inner structure gives body without making the tie feel stiff or bulky.
Hand finish
Final stitching and pressing bring proportion, polish, and long-wear value.
Gift-ready
Selected ties are packed with restraint, so the gift feels refined before it is worn.
