"Silk and cool quilts are most popular now in midsummer season," says Pak Jong Ae, a company official.
Generally, silk is called the queen of fibres as it is lighter, more elegant in colour and softer to touch than other fabrics.
Korean silk was famous for its beauty. From olden times the Koreans have made various kinds of goods such as clothes, quilts and scarves with silk and used them in their life.

According to the manufacturers, the cool quilts have been produced from cloths and cotton which are made by mixing bamboo extract.
They smell sweetly of bamboo and produce anion. As they are cool and well absorb sweat and moisture from the body, they keep the skin soft and smooth and help users sleep well.
Quilts made from goose, duck and other birds’ down and camel hair are also in great demand.
Now, many people visit the company to order the designs and shapes of quilt covers and the upper strips on the outside of quilts and even the colours and quality of lining and raw materials, and the company works to satisfy the needs of customers.
