Product description:
This vest is a neo-Chinese reinterpretation of a Qing-style embroidered vest (majia), crafted in sheer silk gauze and decorated with Suzhou-style embroidery of peonies and butterflies, motifs rich in auspicious symbolism. It draws on traditional Han Chinese garment layering culture and imperial embroidery aesthetics, but is reworked for contemporary fashion sensibilities:
-
Reflect Qing court-style embroidered trims, meant to frame the garment.
This vest reimagines the traditional form — lighter, sheer silk gauze with embroidery, giving it a light, ethereal look.
-
It fits into the 21st-century “neo-Chinese” (新中式, Xin Zhong Shi) fashion style, which revives traditional silhouettes, fabrics, and motifs but adapts them for modern wear.
100% Silk
Designed and fabricated by Suzhou artisans.
Imported from China.
