In August 1st, the Consumer Association of Beijing announced the results of a comparative test of 96 brands of 100 silk garments samples. The results showed that 40 samples of the 100 test samples did not meet the standard requirements.

There are 9 samples that are not contained in mulberry silk, and are not in line with the publicity or product description. Little red books, many spells, and samples purchased by Taobao all fail to meet the standard requirements.

In the 70 samples of online shopping, there are 6 samples of the measured fiber composition inconsistent with the web page claimed information.
