What Wensli Silk is known for
Established in 1975, Wensli turns Hangzhou mulberry silk into scarves, ties and framed silk artworks using a double-sided printing process it developed in-house, and it supplied ceremonial gifts for the G20 summit and the Asian Games. Its research center releases thousands of new patterns each year, sold alongside a silk culture museum that follows the fibre from cocoon to jacquard loom.
