01. THE STORY

Inspired by the flowers and colors of Yunnan, Nova celebrates the beauty of a traditional eight-petal blossom through the art of embroidery.

At the heart of the design is a white flower, brought to life through carefully placed stitches and a richly textured surface. Its floral form evokes the freshness of spring and the quiet beauty of nature, translating a familiar botanical motif into a contemporary piece of wearable textile art.

A small blossom, shaped by the patience and rhythm of handwork.

02. THE PIECE

Nova features a distinctive eight-petal white flower, set against a richly textured embroidered surface.

Its seed-stitch details create a subtle, three-dimensional effect, giving the flower depth and definition. The contrast between the white petals and surrounding colors brings the floral motif into focus, while the clean outer silhouette balances its intricate surface.

With its expressive proportions and tactile finish, Nova makes a distinctive accent for everyday styling and special occasions.

Each pair is individually embroidered, with subtle variations in stitch placement and texture.

03. CRAFT & MAKING

Nova draws on traditional Yi embroidery and features seed stitch, known in Chinese as 籽针绣 (Da Zi Xiu).

The technique builds texture through a series of small, individually placed stitches. Each stitch contributes to the overall surface, gradually forming the flower's shape and creating its distinctive dimensional quality.

The eight-petal motif is carefully developed through this detailed embroidery process, while the outer edge is finished to define the shape of the piece.

Each pair is brought to life by hand, preserving the subtle character of individual craftsmanship.

04. LIVING WITH IT

With its floral motif and textured surface, Nova brings a touch of color and craftsmanship to everyday dressing.

Its statement proportions pair naturally with clean, minimalist outfits, linen shirts, and structured jackets. The white blossom offers a gentle contrast against different colors and textures, making it an expressive yet versatile accessory.

Wear it as a small celebration of nature, or as a distinctive detail that brings personality to a simple look.
