Our Silk Road scarf features a design rooted in the ancient network of silk
trade routes. The Silk Road began from the East to the West of the Asian
continent. It played a primary role in the development of China and its
civilization as well as the cultures of countries as far as the
Mediterranean Sea. This passage was propagated by Zhang Qian, in 206 BC,
during the Western Han Dynasty and rapidly grew into the Eastern Han Dynasty
and Tang Dynasty, ending in 1368 AD. It was given the name ‘Silk Road’ by
German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen because silk was the major trade
product that traversed along it. Our Silk King scarf embraces the different
cultures who traveled down that road. Through combining a variety of ethnic
patterns that are representational of various silk cultures, we embrace the
historical importance of the Silk Road for China.
