Popularization of Silk Fabrics
For centuries, Silk has been a symbol of wealth and refinement, coveted by elites across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Its allure played a crucial role in shaping trade routes and global exploration, especially during the Discovery. Now, thanks to improvements in production and trade, both raw silk and woven fabrics are becoming more accessible than ever before. This newfound availability has sparked a surge in demand across many new markets, where silk is rapidly shifting from a luxury good to a fashionable commodity among the growing urban middle classes.
