Designer's Notes
The King Kwa represents the pinnacle of Chinese wedding attire, embodying the highest level of craftsmanship and artistry. With 98%-100% embroidery coverage, this exquisite garment is adorned with intricate gold and silver threads, showcasing traditional motifs such as dragons and phoenixes that symbolize harmony, prosperity, and happiness. Each King Kwa is meticulously handcrafted, taking countless hours to perfect every detail, making it not only a wedding dress but also a treasured heirloom piece. This masterpiece reflects the richness of Chinese culture and tradition, designed to be passed down through generations as a timeless symbol of love and family heritage.
The intricacy of a Qun Kwa is determined by the extent of hand embroidery covering the luxurious red silk fabric. The greater the embroidery coverage, the more labor-intensive the process becomes, resulting in a higher cost due to the craftsmanship and time investment required.
