01. THE STORY

Some textiles hold stories in every thread.

VERDANT brings vintage Miao embroidery into a contemporary everyday form. Its richly textured surface preserves the visual character of traditional needlework, while a clean, structured silhouette offers a fresh way to appreciate and carry these textile details.

Inspired by the colors, patterns, and layered textures of Yunnan's textile heritage, the bag brings together the character of the past and the simplicity of modern design.

02. THE PIECE

A compact, box-shaped silhouette creates a quiet contrast with the richly detailed embroidery.

The exterior combines raised braided embroidery with intricate counted-thread patterns. Dense layers of thread form a dimensional surface, with geometric arrangements and varied colors giving the textile its distinctive rhythm.

Smooth black leather adds structure and contrast, allowing the embroidery to remain the focus.

03. CRAFT & MAKING

The exterior features vintage Miao braided embroidery alongside counted-thread embroidery, bringing together different textures and visual techniques.

The embroidered textile is carefully selected and tailored into the bag's structured form, with leather elements providing definition and support. Each piece retains the natural variations of its original textile, making every finished bag distinct.

04. LIVING WITH IT

VERDANT offers three ways to carry: as a clutch, a shoulder bag, or a crossbody bag.

Its compact size is suited to carrying everyday essentials, while the detachable, adjustable leather strap allows it to transition from daytime outings to evening occasions.

A considered accessory for those who appreciate the detail and character of traditional textiles.

A PIECE FROM THE ARCHIVE

The original bag shown in the photographs has found a new home. However, a neighboring section of embroidery from the same original textile remains in our archive.

A new piece can be individually crafted using this preserved fragment, following the original design and construction approach. As each section of vintage embroidery is different, the finished bag will have its own character while retaining the spirit of the original.
