Song brocade is one of the four most famous brocades in China 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 elegant and delicate, and it is known as the "Crown of Brocades". The Ruyi flower pattern is a classic auspicious pattern from the Song Dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years. The Ruyi curly grass represents good luck, and the surrounding flowers in full bloom imply endless blessings and prosperity. The bamboo handle is taken from the aesthetics of Chinese literati, and the bamboo symbolizes noble character and advancement. The craftsmen restored the Song Dynasty's elegant floral Song brocade, weakened the traditional rich colors, and used low-saturated macarons and light-toned silk threads to suit modern women's spring wear. The weaving process of the entire Song brocade is cumbersome, and the thin 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 Dynasty, literati bamboo culture and modern simple square bags, the elegant flower garden mood of the Song Dynasty is condensed into a portable handbag, taking into account daily practicality and oriental aesthetic collection value.
