Product Description

A modern icon reinterpreted through textile heritage.

The Heritage Fabric: Song Brocade 

Song Brocade (宋锦) is one of China’s most revered luxury textiles. Unlike prints, it is woven jacquard—built from interlaced threads that create dimensional motifs and a silk glow that shifts subtly with light.

This piece uses mulberry silk in a dense jacquard structure and is completed through 20+ crafting steps to achieve:

• crisp, sculptural pattern definition
• a soft yet resilient hand-feel
• a refined, “museum-object” surface—quiet, elegant, and richly detailed up close

Pattern Story: Dragon & Phoenix Through Lotus

In traditional Chinese symbolism, the dragon represents strength and protection, the phoenix represents grace and renewal, and the lotus signifies purity and harmony. Woven together, “Dragon & Phoenix Through Lotus” becomes a blessing for union, balance, and prosperity—a meaningful motif to carry through important moments and everyday life alike.

Care & Cleaning

About Odor

A mild “new leather” scent is normal. Air the bag in a ventilated place for 2–3 days and it will fade.

Song Brocade (Mulberry Silk Jacquard) Care

• Do not machine wash, soak, or scrub.
• Dust: use a soft dry cloth or a gentle brush.
• Small marks: dab with a slightly damp cloth (water only), then air dry naturally.
• Avoid friction with rough surfaces (Velcro, sharp jewelry) to prevent snags.

Leather Care

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure and contact with alcohol/perfume/oily liquids.
• If wet: blot gently with a dry cloth; air dry away from heat.
• Condition leather parts occasionally with a small amount of leather conditioner (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Storage

• Store in the dust bag, in a cool, dry place.
• Lightly fill the bag with soft material to maintain shape.
• Avoid pressure on the brocade panel.

FAQ

Will the brocade snag?
As a luxury textile, it should be treated with care. Avoid rough friction and sharp objects. With mindful everyday use, it wears beautifully.

It’s designed to feel light for its capacity, balancing structure and comfort.

Can I use leather cleaner on the brocade?
No. Use leather products only on leather parts. For brocade, use dry/low-moisture gentle cleaning.

Why might leather grain look slightly different?
