📜 Story Behind the Craft
This headband design, called "Chained Blossoms", is built upon two layers of classical meaning: visual elegance and symbolic blessing. The background features a “wan” pattern, an ancient motif composed of interlocking swastika-like shapes — used for centuries to express harmony, virtue, and completeness.
The blossoms winding through this pattern speak of continuity, growth, and interconnected joy. In historic China, such patterns appeared not just on garments but on ceremonial fabrics and heirloom décor, embodying the wish for an abundant and peaceful life.
By incorporating these motifs into a modern accessory, the design offers wearers a quiet link to a timeless tradition.

🧵 Craftsmanship & Ingredients
The surface layer uses authentic Yunjin weaving, where pattern and color emerge through a complex brocade process that manipulates both warp and weft. The floral composition is woven, not printed, and follows traditional layout logic found in Qing dynasty accessories.
The interior is softly padded to hold its shape while remaining gentle on the head. This balance of structure and softness reflects a traditional Chinese approach to accessory making: refined, symbolic, and sensory.
🌏 Artisan & Origin Spotlight
This headband is crafted by artisans from the Nanjing Yunjin Brocade Research Institute, whose expertise draws from centuries of court textile making.
By reimagining Yunjin not just as robe fabric but as an object for modern beauty and care, the institute extends cultural inheritance into everyday personal rituals — from hairstyling to mindful preparation.
🏛️ Cultural Heritage Recognition
Rooted in Imperial Weaving Legacy
