Song brocade is one of China's four famous brocades and a national intangible cultural heritage. It relies on the unique weaving technique of opening the warp and cutting the weft. In ancient times, it was exclusively used by the court nobles. Its patterns are complex and exquisite, and it is known as the "Crown of Brocades". The string of branches and branches is a traditional auspicious pattern that has been passed down for thousands of years. The continuous tangled branches and curly grass represent endless good luck and prosperity in all seasons. The bamboo handle is taken from the aesthetics of Chinese literati. The bamboo symbolizes noble character and advancement. The black and gold color is a low-key and noble color loved by ancient literati and nobles. The craftsmen restored the Song brocade pattern handed down from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and used dark and light gilt cold-toned silk threads to weaken the gorgeousness, making it suitable for modern commuting wear. The weaving process of the entire Song brocade is cumbersome, and the thin gold and silver threads are easy to break. The craftsmen need to carefully control the warp and weft density, and each piece of brocade has a unique texture. Combining the millennium intangible cultural heritage of Song brocade and literati bamboo culture with modern square bags, the Chinese retro elegance is condensed into portable handbags, taking into account daily practicality and oriental aesthetic collection value.
