Zhi Tao Hei Xiangyunsha Elastic Drawstring Waist Trousers with Imported Ribbon and Carrot Leg Cut

https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i3/47270808/O1CN01m82ujf1Hq6sN63QFS_!!47270808.jpg The enduring affection for Xiangyunsha fabric, at its core, stems from a love for life itself. This is because Xiangyunsha is a harmonious blend of plants, earth, air, sunlight, flowing water, and human effort—each element indispensable and contributing equally. The distinctive qualities of Xiangyunsha fabric are already widely appreciated, requiring no further in-depth explanation. Simply put, Xiangyunsha is naturally dyed, embodying a style that merges plant-based and mineral elements. The black and coffee dual-sided colorway is both traditional and classic, with black derived from river mud and coffee from the root of the Dioscorea cirrhosa plant. The entire process of creating Xiangyunsha, from the sun-drying of the silk, is intricate. It involves stages such as: raw silk – refining – soaking in Dioscorea cirrhosa extract – drying – repeating the soaking and drying process multiple times – boiling the silk – washing and drying in the extract multiple times – re-boiling the silk – further washing and drying in the extract – re-boiling – air-drying – mud application – washing – air-drying – mist exposure – stretching – finishing and warehousing. The entire sun-drying process requires "three washes, nine boils, and eighteen sun-dries," encompassing dozens of steps. Using 100% mulberry silk spun-silk plain fabric, it undergoes repeated plant dyeing with Dioscorea cirrhosa. The initial color is a coffee-brown on both sides. Subsequently, it is covered with river mud, creating a dual AB-colored effect. The areas covered by river mud turn black, while the uncovered areas retain their coffee-brown hue. Washing off the river mud and air-drying completes the fabric. This entire process is meticulously done by hand, involving over a dozen steps, and requires exposure to the intense sun during the hottest summer months. Consequently, each piece of Xiangyunsha is unique, much like the leaves in a vast forest; no two are alike. Visible handmade traces, such as irregular crackling patterns on the fabric surface, are characteristic. The texture is smooth yet resilient, feeling exceptionally cool and comfortable against the skin. Similar to a Yixing clay teapot, it benefits from human touch over time; the more it is worn, the softer and more skin-friendly it becomes, and its luster deepens. In past eras, a new Xiangyunsha garment would often be entrusted to a servant to "nourish" for a period, until it became translucent, lustrous, and exceptionally soft, before being worn by the owner. For this particular fabric, a smoother finish was desired, thus avoiding pronounced crackling. This results in a more pronounced drape and a softer feel. The deep, classic "Zhi Tao Hei" (Blazing Pottery Black) colorway features black as the primary face and coffee as the reverse, exhibiting a subtle pearlescent sheen under light. https://img.alicdn.com/imgextra/i1/47270808/O1CN01VqXwlB1Hq6sNjgwUT_!!47270808.jpg The cut of these trousers is more subtle and understated, yet also exceptionally sharp. Featuring a comfortable elastic waistband secured with a Japanese imported ribbon, the ribbon acts as a perfect accent, harmonizing the overall aesthetic with a touch of refined elegance. The trouser design is understated yet rich in detail; fine contrasting stitching runs throughout the garment, particularly along the side seams where three lines of stitching are interspersed with contrasting thread, adding a subtle yet exquisite embellishment without appearing contrived. The relaxed leg silhouette is not excessively wide, offering a well-proportioned fit with a clean finish. They are unrestrictive, allowing for a neat and graceful movement that feels light and cool. These trousers are particularly flattering for pear-shaped figures, offering a way to elevate beyond ordinary styles. When paired with a Xiangyunsha blouse, a simple solid-colored T-shirt, a camisole, or various blouses, they create a very harmonious look. **Care Instructions: Xiangyunsha requires specific care. Slight color bleeding upon initial washing is normal. Do not soak; a single rinse in clean water is sufficient. Avoid laundry detergent; a small amount of baby wash can be used as a substitute. Machine washing and direct sun exposure are not recommended. The fabric has a rich character, with irregular washing marks, color fading/bleeding upon washing, and variations in color depth across the fabric width, which will also be present in the finished garment. Occasional small color spots may also occur. Many other situations not described may also exist. Those who appreciate Xiangyunsha will understand, but if you are sensitive to these characteristics, purchase is not recommended.
