香雲紗，又稱「莨紗」，
是源自中国廣東的傳統絲綢面料，至今已有六百餘年歷史。
2008年，香雲紗染整技藝被列入中國國家級非物質文化遺產名錄。
作為當今世界上唯一以純植物染料——薯莨染色的絲綢面料，
香雲紗的製作全程依賴自然、全以手工完成。
一匹香雲紗的誕生，
需經薯莨汁浸染、珠三角河泥覆蓋、日曬反覆，
歷經「三蒸九煮十八曬」的繁複工序。
每一寸光澤、每一縷色澤，皆是時間與自然共同編織的饋贈。
Gambiered Canton Silk, also known as Làng Silk (莨綢),
is a traditional silk fabric originating from Guangdong Province, China, with a history of over six centuries.
In 2008, its unique dyeing and finishing techniques were inscribed on China’s National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
It remains the only silk in the world dyed exclusively with natural plant extracts—the Dioscorea cirrhosa root.
Entirely handcrafted and dependent on nature, each piece of Xiangyunsha undergoes a meticulous process of plant dyeing, river mud coating, and repeated sun exposure, known as the ritual of “three steamings, nine boilings, and eighteen sun-dries.” Every inch of its bronze sheen and soft luster is a gift from time, sunlight, and the earth itself.

Our Interpretation
At Isabelle.C,
Gambiered Canton Silk is reinterpreted beyond its traditional forms.
Through contemporary silhouettes, panel construction, and colour contrast, the material is repositioned within an international fashion context—wearable, expressive, and relevant today.
Runway-Selected Craft Pieces
When traditional craftsmanship enters an international fashion context, we allow the material itself to speak.
Gambiered Canton Silk × Modern Silhouette Set
Showcased at the Thailand Fahion Week 2025 release session, this set is inspired by Hong Kong children’s paintings and explores the fusion of intangible cultural heritage Gambiered Canton Silk with contemporary tailoring.
The womenswear design features layered hemlines that highlight the fabric’s smooth drape while integrating its mottled texture into a suit-inspired silhouette, achieving a balance between softness and structure. The menswear retains Lingnan character through traditional Chinese frog buttons, combined with a relaxed fit suited to modern menswear aesthetics.
Together, the designs merge the depth of heritage materials with an effortless, everyday sensibility.
Gambiered Canton Silk Artisanal Patchwork Dress
This piece was selected for runway presentation at Thailand Fashion Week and previously debuted at CENTRESTAGE 2025. Inspired by a children’s artwork from Hong Kong, the design uses panel construction and colour-blocking to reposition Gambiered Canton Silk within a contemporary visual framework.
The garment features wide sleeves and a relaxed silhouette. One side is crafted from deep ocean-blue fabric, forming a cape-like drape with generous volume, while the other side showcases Gambiered Canton Silk printed with the original child’s illustration. The juxtaposition of heterogeneous materials and contrasting colours amplifies the natural texture and depth of the heritage silk.
Lightweight construction and a modern, loose cut make the piece suitable for everyday wear, allowing the tactile richness of traditional craftsmanship to merge seamlessly with youthful, modern energy.

The design centers on bold colour-blocking and panel construction, creating an abstract ink-wash and diffused dye effect across the garment. Rich hues of purple, green, yellow, and red unfold dynamically with movement, while the custom-dyed heritage silk reveals layered depth and fluidity, allowing traditional material to express a vivid contemporary presence on the international runway.

Through thoughtful construction and restrained detailing, the piece allows traditional silk to appear both graceful and confidently modern.
