Our Story

We are a young and passionate team, deeply in love with the Eastern aesthetics and cultural heritage embodied by the qipao. Using the modern qipao as our canvas, we reinterpret traditional Chinese attire through a contemporary design language

From the delicate textures of silk jacquard to the fluid lines of three-dimensional tailoring. Each piece tells a story: culture never ages; it is stepping into the world with a more global presence.

Team Values

With a youthful heart, we weave the beauty of the East.

We delve deep into the intangible heritage of qipao craftsmanship—such as Su embroidery and traditional edging—while refusing to simply replicate the old.

Sustainability

Let the beauty of the East coexist with the Earth.

Using organic silk and plant-based dyeing techniques, each modern qipao is born with 30% less chemical pollution.

“A qipao is more than just clothing — it is a dialogue that transcends time and borders..”

When I first touched a century-old qipao, the delicate stitches seemed to whisper: tradition shouldn’t be locked away behind glass — it should breathe in rhythm with our time. So we, a group of young creatives, began this adventure with reverence for the past and a vision for the future — telling the story of the East through the language of the modern qipao.

We’ve deconstructed the most exquisite piping techniques found in museum collections, and studied the boldest street styles of New York. And we’ve come to understand: true heritage isn’t about replication — it’s about making the cheongsam a part of real, contemporary life. A woman should be able to wear it to the boardroom, or pair it with sneakers to grab coffee.

In an era overwhelmed by fast fashion, we choose to do things slowly — and beautifully. Because we know: when a Parisian girl confidently walks down Avenue Montaigne in our qipao dress, she’s wearing more than just silk — she’s wearing a modern response to five thousand years of civilization.
