Our product can be designed as a fashionable T-shirt , colourful skirt or special pattern jeans, etc. As for our target audience, the fashion designers, manufactories and the generally customers are all those who we will serve. Analysis of existing technology, detailed technical description and the comparative advantages of our product are as followings.
