Butterfly Knot Xiangyun Silk Dress

A quiet expression of movement, inspired by Zhuangzi’s dream of the butterfly.

The Butterfly Knot Xiangyun Silk Dress is crafted from traditional Xiangyun silk, a distinctive silk textile shaped by time-honored dyeing techniques. The dark, subtly lustrous surface is scattered with delicate butterfly motifs, creating depth and quiet movement across the fabric.

Designed with a refined mandarin-inspired collar and knotted tie detail, the dress balances traditional Chinese elements with a relaxed contemporary silhouette. The clean, elongated shape falls naturally along the body, while the short sleeves and fluid construction allow for ease of movement.

XIANGYUN SILK CARE

Xiangyun silk is a heritage textile crafted from mulberry silk through repeated botanical dyeing with Dioscorea cirrhosa and traditional mud finishing. Its distinctive surface and subtle variations evolve beautifully with wear.

To preserve its natural character:

Wash only when necessary.
When washing is necessary, gently hand wash in cold water below 30°C / 86°F.
Use a mild, pH-neutral detergent formulated for silk.
Do not machine wash, bleach, soak for extended periods, rub, or wring.
Gently press out excess water without twisting.
Hang dry naturally in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight.
Steam from a short distance or iron on low heat with a protective cloth.
Avoid direct contact with perfume, harsh chemicals, and rough surfaces.
Store hanging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

Natural variations in color, texture, and sheen are part of the character of traditionally crafted Xiangyun silk and should not be considered defects.

Crafted from 100% mulberry silk and traditionally finished through repeated botanical dyeing with Dioscorea cirrhosa and mud treatment. Each piece carries subtle variations in tone, texture, and sheen—an inherent characteristic of Xiangyun silk and its handcrafted process.
