Bursa Silk
Bursa was a terminal on the famed Silk Road and a world trade center of silk cocoons and silk fabric. Well before Ottoman conquest, sericulture was an important industry in Bursa. The Ottomans spun the local silk industry to international fame, and by the 16th and 17th Centuries Bursa silk had become a highly desirable luxury throughout Europe, North Africa, and parts of Asia.
The Bursa silk trade took a heavy hit in the 20th Century as waves of cheap imported silk reduced local silk production to a slow trickle. Though there has always been a remnant of true local silk producers, the Bursa silk production machine has in recent years started to show signs of life with the opening of a number of factories and workshops. Once again, Bursa silk is becoming a sought-after luxury item.
