TANGY is a story of developing the most beautiful China's traditional Gambeiered Guangdong Silk. The brand believes in harmony with man and nature and considers both pillars of sustainable development. TANGY is the story of designer Liang Zi, who not only proposed but successfully executed the idea of eco-fashion. TANGY Silk is a fabric from Gambiered Silk and its traditional plant-based dyeing process.
TANGY is known for its premium quality and beautiful texture. The best part of the production of TANGY Silk is that the process is entirely organic and natural. No chemicals are involved. It is a completely natural and eco-friendly fabric. With the efforts of Liang Zi and her husband, not only has this sustainable, eco-friendly fabric come into existence but also the Chinese heritage got preserved with this fabric.
The unique colour and pattern of the TANGY Silk come from the extract of wild Dioscorea cirrhosa. The product gets completed post a 30-step process which involves steps like -
Ø Plant-bases dyeing
Ø Sun-drying
Ø Fabric coating with unpolluted river mud
TANGY Silk came to existence in 1995 to recover the heritage of Chinese Silk Fabric in the most natural and eco-friendly way. Since then, the brand has left no stone unturned in producing award-winning fashion styles with the Gambiered Guangdong silk. The idea with which TANGY started was to sustain one of China's oldest forms of fabric and sustainable development of the Gambiered Guangdong Silk. In 2008, the gambiered Guangdong silk was enlisted as a Chinese National Intangible Cultural Heritage, and much of this credit goes to TANGY. The TANGY Silk Garden is a protection base for the intangible cultural heritage - The Gambiered Guangdong Silk.
The gambiered Guangdong silk has an enormous huge history that takes us back two thousand years. The gambiered Guangdong silk was always valued and was in high demand because of the medicinal value of the plant-bases dye of Dioscorea, which is used in its production. The anti-bacterial and anti-allergic qualities these plant-based dye offers are exceptional, making the gambiered GuangdongSilk one of the best fabric forms. Unlike the other artificial or chemical-based fabrics, the Gambiered Guangdong Silk can be hand-washed without wear and tear. The material becomes softer and more comfortable after a few washes.
The gambiered Guangdong silk has a unique texture and is very aesthetic in its form. The silk is brown on one side and black on the other with tortoiseshell patterns. The natural hand-dyeing process makes every piece of Gambiered Guangdong Silk precious.
