Mother-of-pearl inlay, known as Baibao inlay in ancient times, is a national-level traditional intangible cultural heritage craft. It was born in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In ancient times, it was only used in royal dressing boxes, screens, and palace ritual vessels. The process is complicated, and it is known as the "painting on shells". Peach blossom is a classic Chinese auspicious flower, which represents spring vitality, beauty and smoothness. The double branches of peach blossom mean a happy couple and everything goes well. The color is taken from the imperial color matching, which symbolizes nobility, prosperity and good fortune. The craftsmen refer to the peach blossoms and birds in the Qing Dynasty's fine brushwork, extract the soft flower branch patterns, hand-cut and inlay mother-of-pearl, and the petals, branches and leaves are inlaid in layers. It takes many days to make a single mother-of-pearl panel. The natural texture of each piece of shell is unique, and each handbag is a handmade work of art that cannot be copied. Combining royal mother-of-pearl craftsmanship, royal yellow leather and modern long clutch bags, the spring meticulous flowers and birds are concentrated on the bag surface to create an oriental light luxury handbag with both ornamental, collection and practical value.
