Double-sided black Xiangyunsha, a classic fabric. 100% pure silk spun silk grey fabric, repeatedly plant-dyed with Dioscorea cirrhosa. The initial color is a uniform brown, which is then covered with river mud. This process creates AB colors on both sides: the color covered by river mud becomes black, while the uncovered part remains brown. After washing off the river mud and drying, the fabric is complete. The entire process is done manually, requiring over ten steps and enduring the intense sun during the hottest summer months. Therefore, each piece of Xiangyunsha is unique, like leaves in a vast forest, with no two being exactly alike. The handmade traces are evident, with an irregular, cracked pattern on the fabric surface. It feels smooth yet structured, and exceptionally cool against the skin. Like a Yixing clay teapot, it requires nourishment from the body; the more it is worn, the softer and more skin-friendly it becomes. Its luster will also improve over time. In the past, a new Xiangyunsha garment would typically be "nourished" by a servant for a period, until it became translucent, lustrous, and softer, before being worn by the owner.
This particular fabric is the black variant of the colored root-dyed series. On top of the AB dual colors, it undergoes another black dyeing process to create the double-sided black effect. The two black sides have different sheens: the river mud black side has a better luster, while the reverse side is matte.

Loose carrot pants with volume, yet appearing "streamlined" due to the fabric's expression. Elastic waistband with a drawstring, the small waistband is very comfortable, not constricting, and not tight. The loose pant legs gather at the hem with a few small pleats, naturally extending upwards. The fabric's structure, combined with the loose silhouette, perfectly flatters the leg shape, so there's no need to worry about appearing heavier.
Pairing them with a neutral-toned, slightly masculine T-shirt or a top made of the same material would look equally stylish.
**Care Instructions:**
**Xiangyunsha requires specific care. Slight color bleeding when first washed is normal and should not be soaked. A single rinse in clean water is sufficient. Do not use laundry detergent; a small amount of baby bath wash can be used as a substitute. Do not machine wash or expose to direct sunlight.**
**The fabric has a rich character. Irregular cracking, slight color fading upon initial washing, variations in color depth across the fabric width, and occasional small color spots are all normal characteristics of Xiangyunsha's natural properties and not quality issues. Please be aware that other unmentioned variations may also exist.**
