Shu Brocade

Chengdu, also known as "the land of abundance," has a history of more than 2,000 years of hand-woven brocade craft. Since Sichuan Province is called "Shu" for short, the brocade produced in Chengdu but famous throughout China is known as Shu brocade. 

This brocade, soft and colorfully flamboyant, is one of the four best and most famous brocades in China.Predominantly using red, Shu brocade has a variety of designs, fully reflecting the flowery nature of Shu culture. Shu brocade is woven on a floral-hollowing loom, and uses traditional techniques, including pattern design, cross-stitching, coiling, and weaving.
