Chinese Seed Embroidery (Da Zi Embroidery) - Textiles/Technique
This season, JINLY presents a stunning Seed Stitch vest, which celebrates the intricate beauty of "Dazi Xiu" (打籽绣), an ancient needlework technique that transforms delicate threads into exquisite, three-dimensional artistry.
The Heritage of Seed Stitch
Originating in imperial China, seed embroidery was once reserved for luxurious robes and ceremonial textiles. Skilled artisans meticulously tie thousands of tiny knots, creating a tactile, grain-like texture that symbolizes prosperity and enduring craftsmanship.
-
The raised stitches add depth and a subtle shimmer, perfect for light-catching moments.
-
Lightweight and breathable, the vest blends tradition with minimalist tailoring—ideal for layering over linen dresses or pairing with crisp separates.
-
Wearing this piece carries forward a legacy of artistry, connecting the wearer to centuries of Chinese textile heritage.
A Statement of Slow Fashion
In an era of mass production, our Seed Stitch vest honors patience and precision. Each knot is a tribute to the hands that crafted it and the culture that inspired it.
