Although Shantung Silk is one of the elements that came to our culture by the virtue of the Silk Road, it has become one of the most valuable fabrics of our culture.
Silk weaving, which has an important place in our culture, continued from the Byzantine Period to the Ottoman Empire. Towards the middle of the 16th century, since it contributed to the development of the empire with the increase of silkworm and silk fabric production; In our culture, its place and value are kept very separate. Even though our silk culture is still used in many of our fabrics and crafts, its usage areas can sometimes be far from clothing and sustainability. Cheers to many more days where we experience handing down our traditional fabrics to next generations!
