Uyghur Embroidered Bags

£58.00

This crossbody bag is crafted using the traditional techniques of ‘Uyghur embroidery’, an intangible cultural heritage of Hami, Xinjiang. The body of the bag is crafted from royal blue silk-backed velvet, whilst the exterior features floral motifs inspired by Silk Road culture. Using split natural silk threads combined with seed stitch and dense flat stitch techniques, the stitches are fine, even and smooth, creating a relief-like texture. It seamlessly blends the wild, open-air charm of the Western Regions with the practicality of everyday wear.

  • Material details: 80% natural mulberry silk + 20% viscose, 100% degummed silk

  • Care instructions: Do not machine wash; when storing, stuff the bag to maintain its shape and place it in a dry, dust-proof bag.

  • Production time: 40–60 working days.

  • Dimensions: 26 × 25 × 5 (cm)
