What Is Cherry Print Mulberry Silk Fabric?

Centered on the concept of "natural luxury", this cherry print mulberry Silk fabric meets the rigorous demands for high-quality fabrics in all aspects—from raw material selection and craftsmanship details to multi-scenario adaptation and scientific care. Whether used for garment making or home applications, it conveys an exquisite and warm life aesthetics, making it an excellent choice that combines practicality and aesthetic value.

Raw Materials and Craftsmanship: Laying the Core Foundation for High-Quality Fabrics

Origin and Characteristics of Raw Materials

It is made of 100% Mulberry Silk sourced from high-quality sericulture regions. Each silk fiber can reach a length of over 1,000 meters, far exceeding that of ordinary silk. The fiber surface is smooth and delicate, with a soft pearlescent luster—a "natural highlight" that cannot be replicated by chemical fibers. When touched, it delivers a soft, cloud-like texture, and it is non-irritating when in contact with the skin, making it extremely friendly to sensitive skin. Additionally, mulberry silk is rich in amino acids, which provide a certain nourishing effect on the skin when worn close to the body for a long time—this is a "natural added value" that ordinary chemical fiber fabrics cannot match.

Fine Weaving Craftsmanship

It adopts high-density shuttle weaving technology, resulting in a fabric with a tight yet non-stiff structure and evenly arranged yarns. This craftsmanship not only enhances the fabric's resistance to snags and pilling but also fully preserves the breathability of mulberry silk. When worn daily, the fabric can stretch flexibly with body movements without causing a tight feeling. Even after long-term wear, it is less prone to fiber breakage and fabric deformation. Moreover, high-quality Mulberry Silk Fabric has the characteristic of "becoming softer with proper care"—its texture becomes more supple as it is worn and maintained correctly.

In-Depth Value of Physical Parameters

• 140CM Width: In addition to meeting the needs of cutting most garment patterns (reducing the bulkiness and friction at seams), it is also suitable for large-sized home items (such as partial decorations for silk bedding and cushion covers). No need for splicing multiple pieces of fabric ensures the integrity of patterns and visual uniformity, enhancing the user experience.

• 16mm Thickness: It falls in the "golden thickness range" for mulberry silk fabrics. Compared with ultra-thin styles (8-12mm), it is more durable and less likely to be torn during daily care; compared with thicker styles (over 20mm), it is lighter and does not impose a burden on the body. It is particularly suitable for making garments that require both "drape and flexibility", such as dresses and shirts.

• 68gsm Weight: Perfectly matched with its thickness, it balances "structure retention" and "breathability". When used for making shirts, it can maintain the three-dimensional shape of collars and cuffs without sagging or deformation; when used for making pajamas, its lightweight property ensures no sense of oppression on the body. Combined with the moisture-wicking and sweat-absorbing properties of mulberry silk, it can quickly absorb and evaporate sweat from the skin surface in summer to keep the skin dry, and form a thin "warmth-retaining layer" in winter to balance breathability and gentle warmth.

Cherry Print Design: Balancing Aesthetics and Style Adaptability

Ingenious Design of Pattern Details

The cherry pattern adopts a combination of "realism and minimalism". The fruit part uses layered printing technology to present a gradient effect from "light pink (peel) to deep red (flesh) to light yellow (calyx)", and even fine fruit textures can be seen, highly restoring the fresh texture of cherries. The fruit stems and leaves are outlined with neat lines, and the serrated edges of the leaves are clear but not sharp. A small number of white floral accents are also added to avoid pattern monotony. Meanwhile, the pattern arrangement follows a "well-spaced" layout—each cluster of cherries (3-5 cherries per cluster) has appropriate gaps between them, avoiding the sense of oppression caused by full-print designs. The small areas of negative space make the visual effect more breathable. Whether used for making short-sleeve shirts (with prints only on part of the garment body) or long dresses (with all-over prints), it can present an "exquisite yet not cluttered" visual effect.

Adaptable Scenarios of Diverse Color Systems

• Basic Color Series: Three base colors are available—off-white, light apricot, and light gray. The off-white base is fresh and bright, matching the pink color of cherries, making it suitable for creating sweet-style and summer vacation-style garments; the light apricot base has a soft filter effect, making the cherry pattern more elegant and suitable for occasions such as commuting and dates; the light gray base is neutral, weakening the sweetness of the print and adding a retro and neat temperament, making it suitable for making shirts to match with suit pants, balancing professionalism and personality in the workplace.

• Advanced Color Series: For niche needs, two special base colors are provided—light mint green and pale champagne gold. The light mint green base, paired with light pink cherries, has a natural cooling effect, making it a "cooling color" for summer garments; the pale champagne gold base gives the cherry pattern a subtle pearlescent sheen, making it suitable for making short evening dresses and high-end pajamas, which can present an understated luxury under light.

Diverse Application Scenarios: Extending Texture from Daily Life to Special Occasions

Garment Field: Covering Multi-Style and Multi-Scenario Needs

• Daily Commuting: Make loose shirts with the light gray base style, matching them with black suit pants or cigarette pants. The cherry print serves as a "hidden highlight", breaking the dullness of workplace outfits. It not only complies with workplace dressing norms but also showcases personal taste. Alternatively, make A-line midi skirts with the light apricot base style, pairing them with white knit tops—this combination is gentle and neat, suitable for occasions such as meetings and client meetings.

• Leisure and Vacation: The off-white base style is suitable for making tea dresses, with necklines designed as V-necks or square necks and hemlines reaching just above the knees. As you walk, the fabric flows with the wind, and the cherry print matches with sunshine and beaches, creating a natural summer atmosphere. It can also be used to make short camisoles, paired with high-waisted denim shorts—this look is fresh and age-reducing, suitable for scenarios such as beach outings and park picnics.

• Special Occasions: The pale champagne gold base style can be used to make short evening dresses, adopting a fitted waist and flared skirt design. The luster of mulberry silk shines naturally under light, and the cherry print serves as a detailed accent, making it more memorable than solid-color evening dresses. It is suitable for birthday parties and small-scale dinners. The light mint green base style is ideal for making bridal robes—it is skin-friendly and comfortable, and looks fresh and photogenic when taking photos.

Home Field: Balancing Exquisiteness and Practicality

• Pajama Sets: In addition to the regular long-sleeve and long-pant style, it can also be made into short-sleeve and short-pant styles (for summer) and long-sleeve & long-pant sets with Silk Eye Masks (for autumn and winter). The breathable and skin-friendly properties of mulberry silk reduce friction between the skin and the fabric at night, minimizing skin discomfort during sleep. It is particularly suitable for people with dry skin, as it can reduce skin dryness caused by fabric friction. The cherry print breaks the stereotype that "home clothes are casual", allowing you to maintain an exquisite look even when entertaining friends at home or dressing up in the morning.

• Home Accessories: Use the fabric to make cushion covers—when matched with solid-color sofas or bedding, the cherry print acts as a "visual focal point", instantly enhancing the warmth of the living room and bedroom. It can also be made into small-sized tablecloths (such as decorative cloths for the center of dining tables). When laid on wooden dining tables, it not only protects the tabletop from scratches but also adds a sense of ritual to dining scenarios, making it particularly suitable for family dinners and afternoon tea times.

Scientific Care Methods: The Key to Extending Fabric Lifespan

Washing Care: Avoiding Damage to Silk Protein

• Washing Method: Hand washing is mandatory; machine washing (even in gentle mode) is strictly prohibited. The high-speed rotation of machine washing will damage the silk fiber structure, leading to fabric deformation, snags, or even tears. For hand washing, soak the fabric in cold water (below 30℃) for no more than 5 minutes—prolonged soaking may cause print fading and fabric hardening.

• Detergent Selection: Only neutral silk-specific detergents or mild laundry detergents with a pH value of 7 should be used. Alkaline detergents (such as soap and washing powder) are forbidden, as alkaline ingredients will decompose the protein in silk, causing the fabric to lose its luster, become rough to the touch, and even turn brittle and easy to break with long-term use.

• Washing Actions: Do not rub or wring the fabric; instead, gently press with your palms to squeeze out water. When cleaning the printed part, avoid repeated friction to prevent the print from peeling off or blurring—special attention should be paid to light-colored base styles. Meanwhile, avoid washing it together with rough garments such as jeans and sweaters, as rough fabrics may cause friction on mulberry silk, leading to snags and pilling. Frequent washing is also not recommended—mulberry silk fabric is highly breathable and not prone to dust accumulation, so garments made from it do not need to be washed after each wear. Excessive washing will accelerate fabric wear; it is recommended to decide whether to wash based on wearing frequency (e.g., after 1-2 wears) and cleanliness.

Drying Care: Protecting Fabric Luster and Elasticity

• Drying Environment: Lay the fabric flat to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area; direct sunlight is strictly prohibited. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight will damage silk fibers, causing the fabric to fade, harden, and even break, shortening its lifespan.

• Drying Tools: Use wide-shouldered hangers or lay the fabric flat on a clean towel. Avoid using thin hangers, as they may cause the fabric to deform or form bumps at the shoulders. When drying, gently stretch the fabric to help it regain its flatness, but do not pull it excessively to prevent fiber stretching and deformation.

• Drying Taboos: Do not fold and store the fabric for a long time before it is completely dry, as this may cause obvious creases (creases on mulberry silk are difficult to remove). It is recommended to store the fabric only after it is fully dry.

Ironing Care: Restoring the Fabric's Flat Texture

• Ironing Temperature: Set the iron to the "low-temperature setting" or "silk-specific setting", with the temperature controlled below 110℃. High temperatures will directly scorch the silk fibers, causing the fabric to develop burn marks and harden—this damage is irreversible.

• Ironing Method: Iron the fabric on its reverse side, or place a clean white cotton cloth over the fabric before ironing (to prevent the print from being damaged or the fabric from getting stained by the iron). When ironing, use a "light-press and quick-move" method; do not stay in the same position for a long time.

• Special Cases: If the fabric has slight creases, gently stretch it while drying to allow it to recover naturally with air. For deeper creases, ironing is only recommended to minimize fabric wear caused by ironing.

Storage Care: Preventing Fabric Moisture and Damage

• Storage Environment: Store the fabric in a dry, well-ventilated, and cool wardrobe. Avoid storing it in damp basements or areas near bathrooms, as moisture can cause the fabric to mildew and breed mites. A small amount of camphor balls can be placed in the wardrobe (wrapped in gauze to avoid direct contact with the fabric, which may cause corrosion by camphor ball ingredients). However, strong-smelling insect repellents are not recommended, as they may contaminate the fabric and leave an indelible odor.

• Storage Method: When folding for storage, place a piece of clean white paper between the fabric layers (to prevent the print from transferring to other parts, especially for dark-colored print styles). Fold gently to avoid forming permanent creases. If storing finished products (such as dresses or shirts), hang them for storage using wide-shouldered hangers, and wrap the contact area between the hanger and the fabric with soft cloth to prevent fabric abrasion.

• Regular Inspection: It is recommended to check the fabric condition every 3-6 months. If signs of slight moisture are found on the fabric, take it out to air and dry in a timely manner to prevent the spread of mildew.

Reminders on Care Misconceptions

Bleaching agents of any type (including color-safe bleach) are prohibited, as they will damage the silk protein, causing the fabric to fade and fibers to become brittle—even for white fabrics, bleaching agents should not be used. Only by avoiding these misconceptions and following scientific care methods can the lifespan of the fabric be maximized, ensuring that the cherry print mulberry silk fabric always maintains its high-quality texture and attractive appearance.
