Nowadays, Etles's unique pattern is no longer limited to application in clothing, it can be easily found in home decoration and accessories. It is a kind of silk produced by the atlas moth. One of the largest production sites is the city of Hotan and surrounding towns in the Uyghur homeland. [1][2][3][4]
