Fabric: Synthetic silk with Northern Thai theme
Heavy weight synthetic silk in the Northern Thai style, normally with stitched silk artwork.
Genuine silk is derived from the silk worm (or another silk producing creature), it is an exquisite material that is difficult to care for, tears and wrinkles easily, and is expensive to buy. This item is a synthetic Thai silk, with its fabric being a mix of other materials such as polyester or rayon, resulting in a much stronger easier to care for fabric with a good sheen at an affordable price. Please see the Silk and eBay, Understanding Synthetic & Genuine Silks guide for more information.
Some garments will have marks like clear smears, this is the glue used to protect the fabric while stitching and comes off if wiped with a soft damp cloth. Do not scrub as that may damage the fabric.
