In a world of mass production, true luxury lies in the silent dialogue between thread and time. At Pujiang Muzhi Knitting, 28 years of devotion to lingerie and hosiery have taught us that garments become heirlooms when woven with cultural memory. Join us on a journey where every stitch carries a story.

Conclusion
Lingerie is the most intimate armor—a second skin that should mirror both beauty and belief. At Muzhi, we don’t chase trends; we curate legacies. From the silkworms of Suzhou to the cashmere valleys of Mongolia, we thread the world’s soul into every garment.
“Wear your story. Weave your truth.”
