The history of accessories

Accessories have grown and changed with the history of clothing.

In the era of eating hair and drinking blood, when people wore leaves and animal skins, the vines used for binding were supplementary materials.

Accessories were rarely used in ancient Chinese clothing, mainly ropes. In the image of Tang Feitian, Feitian’s fluttering ribbons are the ultimate expression of ancient accessories decoration.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties, excipients began to be widely used. This is mainly the reason why people pursue complicated and exquisite clothing decoration effects. At this time, accessories were mainly reflected in embroidery, and Su embroidery was the peak of the development of clothing accessories in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Usually feathers and jade are often sewn on clothes as decoration.

At the beginning of modern times, Western clothing was introduced to China. The auxiliary materials have become extremely rich. People began to widely use buttons on clothing.

At the beginning of this century, the invention of the zipper was the most important event in the history of accessories. It is still the most important excipient to this day.

Due to the pursuit of decorative effects, auxiliary materials have changed from functional to decorative effect. For example, decorative buttons, hot diamonds, beads, rivets, lace, leather labels, etc. are all used as decorative accessories.

The development of excipients industry

The emergence of excipients as an industry happened after the reform and opening up. Until China's reform and opening up, people's impressions of accessories were just buttons, corns, and rubber bands in the chicken feathers exchange for candy.

With the development of clothing after the reform and opening up, button companies began to produce buttons in Jiashan, Qiaotou and other places in Zhejiang. Companies from Taiwan and Hong Kong also came to the country to invest and build factories to produce accessories.

The accessories driven by the small buttons began to perform legends.

Excipient markets have been established in major cities across the country, such as Guangzhou Zhongda, Shanghai City God Temple, etc. For example, a professional button market was built in Qiaotou Town. Some large excipient companies have an output value of over 1 billion, and Weixing and others have even become listed companies.

Since 2005, accessories companies have begun to do online business, such as clothing accessories online wholesale network, accessories network, etc.

The development of excipients is no longer what it used to be.
