Our Song Brocade Collection revives one of China’s most exquisite weaving traditions, transforming centuries-old artistry into timeless accessories for modern life.
This evening handbag is crafted from authentic Song Brocade - a luxurious silk textile once woven exclusively for imperial households.
The featured pattern, “Jinsha Feidie” (Golden Sand and Flying Butterflies), originates from the ancient looms of Suzhou, known as the “city of silk.”
Under soft light, the fabric shimmers like flowing gold dust, while delicate butterflies dance across its surface - a poetic symbol of grace and transformation. In Chinese art, butterflies represent longevity and free spirit; in this brocade, they glide through a field of golden threads, echoing harmony between nature and craftsmanship.

🌿 Sustainability & Craftsmanship
Song Brocade weaving is a national intangible cultural heritage of China — each meter of fabric requires thousands of warp threads and days of meticulous hand-guiding.
By supporting Lian’s Song Brocade line, you help sustain this living tradition and the artisans who preserve it.
“Among all silks, Song Brocade speaks the softest yet endures the longest.
We hope this handbag carries that same quiet strength and elegance with you — wherever life leads.”
