Violet silk folds rippling diagonally, a soft sheen running along each crease

## Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use the Silk background from React Bits (https://reactbits.dev/backgrounds/silk, MIT + Commons Clause: OK inside a video, no reselling the code). Install with `npx shadcn@latest add @react-bits/Silk-JS-CSS` and use it as a full-frame backdrop for beauty, fashion or product titles. Set color to a deep brand tone, sheenColor to a light tint, speed 3–5, noiseIntensity about 1.5, and rotation to angle the folds. The shader adds the requestAnimationFrame delta to its own clock: patch the loop to set time = frame / fps * speed and draw once per frame, with intro={false}, mouseInteraction={false} and clickRipple={false}.
