Each Tie-Dye Xiabu Scarf starts with premium Wanzai ramie, known as "China Grass" for its millennia-long cultivation history. The ramie undergoes traditional dew-bleaching (a chemical-free process using morning dew to ferment and soften fibers, keeping them pure and skin-friendly) before being hand-spun into smooth, even yarns. Artisans then weave the yarns into Xiabu fabric on antique wooden looms, ensuring tight, uniform weaves that highlight Xiabu’s unique texture.
The tie-dye process is equally meticulous: we use natural plant dyes (indigo from Isatis tinctoria, osmanthus for yellow, and madder for red) – no synthetic pigments. Artisans manually fold, twist, and bind the Xiabu fabric with cotton threads, creating varied patterns (clouds, waves, or floral motifs) before dipping it into dye vats. Each dip and rinse is controlled by hand, resulting in soft, gradient hues that never repeat. The scarf measures 180cm×30cm, with hand-rolled edges to prevent fraying, balancing durability with a lightweight feel (only 80g) that’s easy to drape.
Dual Intangible Heritage Craftsmanship: Combines "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique" and traditional tie-dye, both rooted in Chinese culture for centuries, with no machine substitution in core processes.
100% Natural & Eco-Friendly: Made from renewable ramie fiber; plant-based dyes and chemical-free dew-bleaching meet EU ECOCERT standards, safe for skin and the environment.
Unique Tie-Dye Patterns: Each scarf’s pattern is hand-tied and dyed, so no two pieces are identical – offering exclusive style for users.
Superior Texture: Xiabu fabric’s natural micro-pores ensure breathability, while the handwoven structure makes it soft to touch yet resistant to wrinkling.
Long-Lasting Hues: Plant dyes penetrate deep into ramie fibers, resisting fading even after 50+ washes (unlike synthetic-dyed scarves).
Daily Styling Accessory: Adds a pop of color to casual outfits (jeans + T-shirts) or elevates formal looks (dresses, suits), suitable for spring, summer, and autumn.
Temperature Regulation: Ramie fiber’s breathability keeps you cool in 25-30℃ weather and adds a light layer of warmth on 15-20℃ days.

Gift with Cultural Meaning: Serves as a unique gift for friends, family, or business partners who appreciate handcrafted art and cultural heritage.
Travel Essential: Lightweight and foldable, it takes little space in luggage, doubling as a shawl on air-conditioned planes or trains.
Cultural Exclusivity: Unlike mass-produced synthetic scarves, it carries the story of two Chinese intangible heritages, offering emotional and cultural value.
Better Than Cotton Scarves: Ramie fiber dries 3x faster than cotton, resists mildew, and doesn’t stick to skin when sweating – ideal for warm weather.
Hypoallergenic: No chemicals in production, making it safe for people with sensitive skin or allergies to synthetic fabrics.
Artisan Quality Control: Each scarf is checked by Xiabu inheritance artisans (including our team led by national-level inheritor Song Shuya) to ensure no loose threads or uneven dyeing.

Q1: Will the tie-dye color bleed when washed?
A1: No. We use a natural fixing process (soaking in tea extract) to lock in plant dyes. Wash with cold water and mild detergent for the first time – slight color run is normal (due to natural dyes) but will stop after 1-2 washes.
Q2: Is the scarf thick enough for autumn?
A2: Yes. The handwoven Xiabu fabric has a dense structure that provides light warmth for 15-20℃ autumn days. It’s also easy to layer with coats for cooler weather.
Q3: Can I iron the scarf?
A3: Yes. Iron on low heat (≤110℃) on the reverse side to avoid damaging the tie-dye pattern. Avoid ironing the hand-rolled edges to keep their shape.
Q4: Do you offer custom tie-dye patterns?
A4: Yes. For bulk orders (minimum 30 pieces), we can customize patterns (e.g., brand logos, specific motifs) using natural dyes. Contact our customer service for design proposals.
Q5: Is international shipping available?
A5: Yes. We ship to over 50 countries (US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, etc.). Shipping takes 7-15 business days, and all orders include a tracking number.
