Our Craftsmanship

Every Qipao dress and Cheongsam dress is built through a quiet, steady process.

Our team of artisans hand embroider, press, and finish each panel in our atelier in Los Angeles.

We combine Shu embroidery for lifelike color with Panjin goldwork for rich depth.

Each piece is made to last, to be worn again, and to be passed down as an heirloom.

Traditional Qipao Dresses

The Cheongsam is the Qipao re-imagined for the modern day. Cut for movement and shaped for evening wear, it carries Chinese heritage into new settings. Our Cheongsam dresses are made to measure, combining silk fabrics with embroidery that speaks of family and tradition. We work with fine materials such as Italian silk, Japanese cotton, linen, and evening gown fabrics to create Cheongsam that can be worn for galas, weddings, tea ceremonies, and cultural celebrations.
