📜 Story Behind the Craft
Once used to carry tokens, herbs, or keepsakes, pouches like this were essential accessories in traditional Chinese dress. Over time, they became more than practical objects — they evolved into emblems of affection, blessing, and refinement.
This design revives that legacy with a rounded "waist pouch" silhouette — soft, symmetrical, and easy to carry or hang. The red base symbolizes joy and vitality, while woven floral motifs convey blessings for peace, abundance, and harmony.
More than just a scented sachet or a fashion piece, it’s a portable wish for good fortune and enduring grace — whether worn or gifted.

🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
The surface brocade is made with traditional Yunjin weaving, known for its rich, layered textures and iridescent patterns. The pouch features fine Suzhou-style embroidery, noted for its thread precision, elegance, and naturalistic motifs.
The tassel is made with high-quality silk floss, dyed to match auspicious red tones. Hand-knotting and beadwork add a delicate, festive charm.
Every component — stitching, drawstring, inner lining — is made with both usability and symbolism in mind.
🌏 Artisan & Origin Spotlight
This pouch is a collaboration between the Nanjing Yunjin Brocade Research Institute and local embroidery artists in Suzhou — two of China’s most revered heritage centers.
Together, they bring courtly textile refinement into a format that feels deeply personal and culturally resonant.
