The material composition is \u003cstrong\u003e66 % silk and 34 % hand-spun Changpai highland wool\u003c\/strong\u003e. Changpai — from sheep raised above 4,000 metres on the Tibetan plateau — is exceptionally long-staple and lustrous. In combination with the silk, the wool provides structural depth while the silk delivers brilliance. The pile height is approximately \u003cstrong\u003e12 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the hand-spun construction gives a particularly soft, plush hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette pairs a warm \u003cstrong\u003eamber ground\u003c\/strong\u003e with a deep \u003cstrong\u003echarcoal tiger and accent passages\u003c\/strong\u003e.
