Guizhou Batik Top - 2

£388.00

Grounded in intangible cultural heritage from Southwest China, this bespoke ensemble utilizes high-density handwoven cotton substrate, hand-drawn by master artisans employing molten beeswax and traditional copper spatulas. The iconography incorporates ancestral zoomorphic and geometric motifs—notably the Butterfly Mother paradigm and bronze drum totems. The textile undergoes multiple vat-dyeing cycles using natural fermented indigo. Controlled paraffin cracking produces spontaneous micro-fractures, rendering each iteration an unreproducible artifact of slow craftsmanship. The silhouette combines dropped shoulders with ergonomic traditional tailoring, complemented by hand-rolled frog closures and structural pleated geometries.

  • Material Composition: Shell: 100% Handspun Organic Cotton (340 g/m²); Lining: 100% Mulberry Silk Habotai (19 mm); Colorant: 100% Botanical Fermented Indigo Extract.

  • Care Instructions: Please hand-wash separately using a non-ionic surfactant detergent in water below 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using chlorine-based bleach. Lay flat to dry in the shade; when ironing, place a pressing cloth on the reverse side and use a medium-heat steam setting.
