About Craftmanship
This handbag features master-crafted Song Brocade, one of China’s four most prestigious classical brocades and a national intangible cultural heritage. With origins tracing back to the Tang and Song dynasties, it reached its peak during the Ming and Qing eras, long celebrated as "the crown of silk fabrics". Its production follows a rigorous traditional workflow of over 30 steps — from thread dyeing and warp-weft arrangement to hand weaving on traditional pattern looms — resulting in unmatched fabric density, intricate patterning and luminous color depth.
The signature Lotus & Bat Sida Halo motif carries layered cultural meaning. Set against a classic turquoise ground, the central lotus stands for eternal life and refined elegance, while the surrounding bat motifs are a beloved Chinese symbol of good fortune and longevity. The "Sida Halo" symmetrical structure represents harmony, success and smoothness across all areas of life. Woven by master artisans inheriting and advancing the classic craft, this piece reinterprets centuries-old textile aesthetics for contemporary life — more than an accessory, it is wearable art that carries the enduring elegance of Chinese silk heritage.
