Summer Bloom | Vintage Yi Applikations-Hobo-Tasche

SUMMER BLOOM begins with a piece of vintage Yi appliqué embroidery, originally used on a traditional baby carrier.

Across the textile, peonies, fish, lotus leaves, trailing vines, and flowering branches come together in a lively composition. The embroidered motifs and their rich arrangement reflect the visual character of traditional textile craft from Yunnan.

Time has softened the original threads, leaving muted reds and earthy tones across the surface. Reworked into a contemporary bag, this vintage textile finds a new place in everyday life.

A relaxed crescent hobo silhouette gives SUMMER BLOOM a soft yet generous shape, designed to be worn over the shoulder or across the body.

The vintage embroidery takes center stage, complemented by warm-toned leather details. Red leather accents at the sides add depth and bring out the colors of the textile, while the lightly textured leather back creates a quieter contrast.

The result is a bag that feels expressive without being overly formal, with a distinctive front and a more understated reverse.

The bag incorporates a vintage Yi appliqué embroidery panel from a traditional baby carrier, carefully selected and incorporated into a newly constructed design.

The embroidered textile is paired with cowhide leather, napa leather details, and vegetable-tanned leather elements. The leather is shaped around the textile panels to create a considered transition between the different materials.

The base is finished with vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass feet, while the interior is lined with black cotton.

Designed for everyday outings, SUMMER BLOOM offers a generous interior in a relaxed, easy-to-wear silhouette.

The adjustable strap allows for shoulder or crossbody carry, while the zipper closure keeps everyday essentials in place. Interior pockets help organize smaller belongings, and the back zipper pocket provides convenient access to items you reach for often.

Its muted red tones add warmth to everyday outfits, making it easy to wear across seasons.
