Fabric & Lining:

• Shell: Silk-Wool Imitation Satin (100% Polyester). This innovative fabric replicates the luxurious drape and luster of natural silk and wool, offering superior smoothness, elasticity, strength, and exceptional resistance to wrinkles and fading, while maintaining breathability.

• Lining: Authentic Sangbo Silk Damask (100% Mulberry Silk). Woven on rapier looms with intricate jacquard patterns, this lining is celebrated for its clear texture, timeless motifs, and noble aesthetic, embodying heritage craftsmanship.

Color Story:

• Astral Blue: A hue from the classical Chinese color palette, inspired by the Southern Song poet Xu Ji’s verse. It captures the serene moment where the sky’s pure essence meets the vitality of spring—a color that is both profoundly clear and vibrantly alive.

Embellishment:

• “Silver-Crowned Peony” in French Lunéville Embroidery: The centerpiece is a three-dimensional peony, meticulously crafted using the revered Lunéville technique—the crown jewel of haute couture. Artisans employ a concealed hook to couch fine silver threads, creating petals that radiate a metallic glow. The intricate, chrysanthemum-like inner curls represent the priceless “Silver-Crowned” peony, a variety once guarded day and night in the Luoyang Imperial Peony Gardens.

Design Essence & Occasion:
This jacket captures the poetic gesture of tucking a silver-crowned peony against a fragment of the clear sky. With its refined blossom collar and elegant slit cuffs, it orchestrates a dialogue between Eastern opulence and European courtly grandeur. It embodies a philosophy of understated splendor—”magnificent yet not ostentatious”—perfect for the modern connoisseur. It is destined for black-tie galas, art vernissages, exclusive collectors’ viewings, and any occasion where heritage, art, and silent authority converge.
