Li Brocade: 'Living fossil' of China's textile history

Women of the Li ethnic group of South China's Hainan province have been turning cotton and hemp into intricate brocade for over 3,000 years. 

Li brocade epitomizes China's earliest textile practices and is still very popular today. Traditional Li textile techniques have been recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage!

Weaving history and fashion together, Li brocade embodies both Chinese wisdom and civilization.
