From April onwards, the frenzy of silk in Suzhou and Hangzhou is not inferior to the rising cotton: from 180 thousand yuan / ton to 250 thousand yuan / ton, and even to 300 thousand yuan per ton recently.

The interview found that the rising tide of silk has spread to Xiamen.

The phenomenon of "flour is more expensive than bread"

"The boss is buying in Hangzhou, and telephoned to say that the price there has been rising, and told us that the price should be controlled, even the old customers could not reduce the price."

Yesterday, a salesperson in a silk monopoly shop said with no ambiguity.

The author noted that, recently, the prices of silk products in the main producing areas of Jiangsu and Hangzhou are extremely frenzied: the price of silk has increased by one thousand or two thousand yuan per ton, which has risen from 180 thousand yuan per ton in April to 250 thousand yuan / ton, and there is no sign of stopping.

Moreover, the whole silk industry chain has discovered the phenomenon that "flour is more expensive than bread".

Silk prices rise rapidly to Xiamen market.

The salesperson told reporters that the price of their new products had already increased since last month, so the price of the store has also been adjusted accordingly: the clothing discount has been pferred from the original half off to forty percent off, and the ten percent off sold silk has no longer been discounted.

Miss Li, another silk clothing store, said that the average price of silk clothing has increased by twenty or thirty yuan per year since the beginning of this year.

However, because the sales season of silk is now very high, they dare not rush to raise their prices. "If the price goes up again, we will follow suit."

Forced to reduce clothing silk materials

"We now use more silk and cotton and linen.

According to industry sources, most of the mid-range clothing brands have minimized the use of pure silk fabrics in addition to high-end clothing brands that are not sensitive to raw material prices.

I learned from the news of a garment factory specializing in the production of silk fashion in Xiamen.

According to them, their current silk fashion production is decreasing year by year, and now only accounts for 30% of the total output, and it has reached 90% before.

"Besides the adjustment of the company's development strategy, price is an important reason."

The person in charge of the factory told reporters.

But in Zhang Aimin's view, the use of silk fabrics is not only a price factor, but also an important reason for dressing habits.

"Pure silk clothing is easy to wrinkle, not good care and maintenance, and does not conform to the modern urban fast-paced life."
