Peonies carried by wind, fish among lotus leaves — a bag as bright as summer, softened by time.
✦ The slow glance
This bag begins with a piece of vintage Yi appliqué embroidery — once part of a traditional baby carrier, stitched with wishes of protection and blessing.
Across the surface, motifs unfold slowly: wind-blown peonies, fish among lotus leaves, trailing vines, flowering branches.Each symbol carries a quiet wish for abundance, continuity, and joy.
The embroidery is dense and finely worked. Old threads settle into muted reds and earthy tones — softened by time, never overly bright.
✦ The shape
The bag is shaped into a relaxed crescent hobo silhouette: soft, spacious, and easy to wear on the shoulder or across the body.Designed for everyday use, with a generous interior and an effortless presence.
✦ The details
The embroidered panel is paired with napa leather and vegetable-tanned leather — warm in texture, soft in hand, and made to age gently over time.
The back panel uses high-quality cowhide with a lightly textured surface resistant to scratches.
Along the upper edge, the leather is carefully shaped to meet the embroidery naturally, while red leather accents at the sides bring additional depth and balance.
The base is finished with vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass feet.
✦ In use
The muted red tones bring warmth without heaviness — enough to soften winter layers while remaining easy to pair across seasons.Light in feeling, practical in structure.
✦ One of a kind
Made from vintage appliqué embroidery fragments,each piece carries natural variations in thread, tone, and stitching.No two are ever exactly alike.
