BLOOMING | 2026 Yi Embroidery Desk Calendar

In the mountains of Southwest China, flowers have long held a special place in Yi embroidery. They are more than decorative patterns — they reflect a way of seeing and expressing the world.

For generations, Yi women have embroidered flowers onto clothing, baby carriers, and household textiles, passing down their visual traditions through needle and thread.

Inspired by this heritage, Blooming brings together twelve embroidered flowers, one for each month of 2026. Each design represents a small moment in the changing seasons, inviting us to appreciate the beauty of growth, time, and everyday life.

Blooming is a handmade desktop calendar featuring twelve individual embroidered flower designs inspired by Yi ethnic embroidery from Yunnan, China.

Each month presents a different floral composition, bringing together traditional patterns, colors, and hand-stitched details.

Designed for a desk, bookshelf, or quiet corner at home, it combines the function of a calendar with the visual character of a small textile artwork.

More than a way to mark the days, Blooming offers a gentle reminder to slow down and notice the small changes around us.

Each flower is individually hand-embroidered by Yi artisans using traditional embroidery techniques passed down through generations.

Rather than relying on machine-made patterns, the designs take shape through the careful work of needle and thread. Every stitch contributes to the texture, color, and character of the finished composition.

By working with local craftswomen, Blooming seeks to share the beauty of Yi embroidery with a wider audience while creating opportunities for traditional craftsmanship to remain part of contemporary life.

As each piece is handmade, production is naturally limited.

Designed as a desktop calendar for 2026, Blooming brings a little color and craftsmanship into everyday routines.

Place it on your work desk, bookshelf, bedside table, or wherever you would like a small reminder of the changing seasons.

Each month introduces a new embroidered flower, making the passage of time feel a little more personal.

After the year ends

The twelve embroidered cards are designed to be kept beyond their calendar function. They can be:

• Framed individually as small textile artworks.
• Displayed together as a collection of embroidered flowers.

A calendar for the year, and a collection to keep beyond it.
