First off, you got Suzhou No.1 Silk Factory linked with Shanghai Silk Group… sounds official, right? They’re flaunting 791 followers on LinkedIn and claiming to be OEM & ODM clothing manufacturers. Then you got Shanghai Silk, which seems like it’s all about building and managing the *entire* textile and garment industry chain. Talk about ambitious! I mean, who even *does* that anymore? Seems like a real “mom and pop” operation… NOT!
And then there’s the random Shanghai info. “Shanghai is literally silk heaven”…okay, calm down, tourism board! I mean, I’m sure there’s a lot of silk there, but “literally”? Come on. Bed sheets to dresses, blah blah blah… You get the picture, right? You can even buy it by the meter, which, honestly, sounds a bit intimidating to me. Like, what am I supposed to *do* with a meter of silk? Make a scarf? (Probably screw it up, tbh).
Then there’s some thing about a qipao exhibition at the Shanghai Museum… totally random! What’s that have to do with anything? I guess they’re trying to establish the whole “silk = China” connection, but it feels kinda shoehorned in. Anyway, the China National Silk Museum is mentioned, maybe they’re important? I dunno.
Oh, and Shanghai Silk Group Co., Ltd. pops up *again*, this time claiming to be the largest garment export enterprise. 20 billion US dollars in exports… seriously? That’s a LOT of silk pajamas! Or, you know, whatever they’re exporting. Maybe it’s all ties for grumpy old men. Who knows.
BUT THEN… we get to Shanghaisilks.com itself. And it’s… family matching sets and bonnets? WhAt? Talk about a whiplash! So, like, all this serious “largest export enterprise” stuff and we end up with cutesy matching pajamas? My brain hurts. And bonnets that “won’t slip off your littles heads at night!” is actually a pretty good selling point, I guess. I mean, nobody wants a rogue bonnet situation.
They have a “cherry pajama set” that’s supposedly cute and comfortable. And the person reviewing it bought a small and it fit great. Okay, thanks for the incredibly detailed and helpful review, random online person. You’ve sold me! (Not really).
So, yeah, Shanghaisilks.com. It’s kinda all over the place, isn’t it? It’s got this aura of big business and historical significance… but then it’s actually selling pajamas. Maybe they’re *really* high-quality silk pajamas? Maybe they’re the key to world peace? I highly doubt it, but hey, a girl can dream, right?
