Look for
Scarves, ties and lightweight garments with a clear fiber-composition label.
Ask for it

Read the label
Where to start
Look at established silk retailers. Qianmen and Dashilan in Beijing are associated with longstanding businesses including Ruifuxiang; check the precise store address.
Before you pay
- Read the fiber percentages. A glossy surface or the word “silky” does not establish silk content.
- Inspect stitching and edges, and check the feel against your skin.
- Confirm care instructions and return terms. Compare products of similar composition rather than comparing labels alone.
When to walk away
Skip unsupported purity claims. Avoid buying fitted clothing for someone else without their measurements.
Getting it home
Fold loosely and protect it from snagging items and liquids. Keep receipts with your shopping record.
