Let's talk about Hanfu first. The full name of Hanfu is "the traditional costume of the Han nationality", also known as Hanfu official, Hanzhuang and Huafu. From the accession of the Yellow Emperor to the mid-Kloc-0/7th century (late Ming and early Qing), in the main residential areas of the Han nationality, with the "Huaxia and Han" culture as the background and the leading ideology, and the Chinese etiquette culture as the core, through natural evolution, a unique style and character of the Han nationality was formed.
Nowadays, ancient costumes have become popular in recent years, so Hanfu is becoming more and more common in daily life. Shopping, eating, and seeing little brothers and sisters wearing Hanfu in scenic spots. Very eye-catching.
Merchants seldom use brocade when making Hanfu, because the cost of Hanfu fabric is high and it is not a necessity for the public. People with that spending power don't necessarily wear Hanfu. Compared with spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a Hanfu suit, the other party may choose to go to LV to buy a bag. People who have spending power and wear Hanfu will look for tailor-made Hanfu shops instead of relatively inferior Hanfu merchants to sort goods in batches.
I think it's not just because of the high cost of fabrics and labor, the high price of finished products, and it's not easy to make a profit. There are also the following reasons: first, people who buy gorgeous clothes prefer a lot of embroidery, and some prefer special fabrics. Second, clothing uses special fabrics, weaving gold and cosmetic flowers are between technology and money, and basically all use chemical fiber fabrics. Third, pay more attention to daily wear. So now that you mention it, you can understand why Hanfu merchants seldom use silks and satins to make Hanfu.
