Our Hand Embroidery Techniques

At JINZA, embroidery is more than decoration — it's storytelling in thread. Every stitch reflects centuries of tradition, family legacy, and symbolism unique to Chinese culture. From the lifelike shading of Shu embroidery to the bold richness of Panjin, our artisans bring each motif to life with precision and heart.

Technique Spotlight

Shu Embroidery

Originating from Sichuan, Shu embroidery is known for its subtle gradient silk shading, fine detail, and vivid depictions of nature. It’s ideal for florals, birds, butterflies, and other soft elements.

Perfect for: Qipaos, Cheongsams, and modern Chinese dresses.

Panjin Embroidery

Panjin embroidery is rich and dramatic — often seen on Qun Kwa and King Kwa. Gold and silver threads, layered density, and bold imagery like dragons and phoenixes define this style.

Perfect for: Traditional Chinese wedding dresses and Tang suits.
