Product Description

Black Banana Leaf Lotus Song Brocade Basket Bag

This Black Banana Leaf Lotus Song Brocade Basket Bag is a refined New Chinese style handbag crafted from mulberry silk Song Brocade and finished with black grained leather trim.

The brocade fabric is Shangjiukai Black Banana Leaf Lotus Song Brocade, a richly woven pattern inspired by banana leaves and lotus blossoms. Against the deep black brocade base, gold and green botanical motifs unfold with a quiet, luminous elegance.

Elegant but not overly formal, this bag is perfect for daily styling, tea gatherings, dinners, travel, cultural occasions, boutique gifting, and women who love heritage-inspired quiet luxury.

Meaning of the Black Banana Leaf Lotus

The Banana Leaf Lotus motif combines two poetic botanical symbols from Chinese aesthetics.

The banana leaf represents shelter, vitality, growth, and a peaceful garden atmosphere. Its broad, flowing form gives the pattern a soft sense of movement and protection.

The lotus flower symbolizes purity, elegance, renewal, and inner strength. Although it grows from water and mud, it blooms clean and graceful, making it one of the most beloved symbols of noble character in Chinese culture.

Together, the motif suggests:

Purity, growth, harmony, abundance, protection, renewal, and graceful prosperity.

The black, gold, and green color palette adds depth and refinement. The black ground feels calm and mature, the gold brings a sense of luxury and blessing, while the green botanical lines create freshness and vitality.

What Is Song Brocade (宋锦)?

Song Brocade, also known as Songjin, is one of China’s most celebrated traditional silk jacquard textiles. It is admired for its refined woven texture, luminous color depth, and elegant cultural motifs.

Unlike printed fabric, Song Brocade patterns are created through interlaced warp and weft threads. This gives the textile a subtle dimensional effect, a soft sheen, and rich visual depth under different lighting.

For this handbag, the Song Brocade body is bonded for everyday durability while preserving the beauty of the silk jacquard. The handles and base are reinforced with leather, allowing the bag to remain lightweight, structured, and comfortable to carry.

Care & Cleaning

Song Brocade Fabric Care

Song Brocade contains mulberry silk fibers and should be treated as a delicate textile.

• Avoid direct washing with water
• Do not bleach
• Do not rub the brocade surface strongly
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
• Professional dry cleaning is recommended for deep cleaning
• For light dust or small marks, gently wipe with a soft dry cloth

Leather Care

• Avoid contact with oil, perfume, alcohol, and corrosive liquids
• Keep away from sharp or abrasive objects
• Avoid excessive moisture
• If the bag gets wet, wipe it immediately with a soft dry cloth

Storage

Natural Leather Odor

A light natural leather scent is normal. Place the bag in a ventilated area for 2–3 days, or place a scented sachet, citrus peel, or tea bag inside to help the scent fade.
