Mulberry Silk pillowcases etc?

Question

Does anyone know of a place to get real silk satin pillowcases in Shenzhen? Is there a market or shop that specializes in that? Pillowcases, eye masks, that sort of thing. Thanks! Probably able to go to Hong Kong if that’s more appropriate. Don’t know much about shopping in China.

Answer

Shenzhen is a great place to buy silk products, including pillowcases, eye masks, and bedding, thanks to its proximity to the Guangdong silk industry. Here are some options and areas where you can find authentic mulberry silk items:

In Shenzhen:

Luohu Commercial City: Near the Luohu border with Hong Kong, this shopping center has multiple floors selling textiles, including silk pillowcases, sleep masks, and sheets. You can bargain for prices, and many shops offer quality mulberry silk items.
Dongmen Pedestrian Street: While primarily known for clothing and general goods, some specialty textile stores here sell silk accessories. Look for shops displaying silk bedding or pillowcases specifically.
Huaqiangbei Electronics/Market Area: Not just electronics — there are some wholesale markets in the surrounding streets where silk bedding and personal care items like silk eye masks can be found.

If you are willing to go to Hong Kong:

Stanley Market: Known for souvenirs and textiles, some shops sell silk pillowcases and sleep accessories.
Mong Kok & Tsim Sha Tsui: Department stores and specialty shops in these areas sell high-quality mulberry silk bedding and pillowcases. Brands often display “100% mulberry silk” labels.
Hong Kong Markets: Temple Street Night Market or Ladies Market may have smaller silk items, but check the quality carefully.

Tips:

Always check the label to ensure it is real mulberry silk (silk charmeuse or satin) and not synthetic satin.
Bargaining is common in Shenzhen markets; expect to negotiate prices.
Buying in Hong Kong tends to be more expensive, but items are usually guaranteed quality and often come with packaging and brand tags.
If you want larger bedding sets, Shenzhen wholesale markets offer better selection and prices than Hong Kong.

Overall, for genuine silk pillowcases and sleep accessories, Shenzhen’s Luohu Commercial City is probably your best starting point. You can compare quality and prices, and if desired, make a trip to Hong Kong for additional options or branded products.
