Silk Road
Time-Honored BrandSilk Road · Jiangsu · Founded
A renowned textile and apparel brand from Jiangsu, China, inspired by the ancient Silk Road. With a history dating back to the Han Dynasty, it is celebrated for exquisite craftsmanship and deep cultural heritage, blending tradition with modern design.
Brand Story
Silk Road (Jiangsu) brand originates from the trade spirit of the ancient Silk Road, with roots tracing back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), when Jiangsu was already a major silk-producing region. Historical records show that during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), Jiangsu silk was exported overseas via the Maritime Silk Road, and the brand name pays homage to this glorious history. In modern times, Jiangsu's textile industry flourished, and the brand, inheriting traditional techniques while integrating modern design, has become a representative of China Time-honored Brands. A key figure is Zhang Jian (1853-1926), a textile industrialist of the late Qing and early Republic era, who advocated industrial salvation and modernized Jiangsu's textile industry. The brand's cultural significance lies in connecting past and present, spreading Eastern aesthetics and the spirit of craftsmanship.
