The lilac (丁香), prized for its fragrance and its clusters of small, four-petalled blossoms, has long been carried in Chinese poetry as an emblem of refinement, humility, and youthful grace. Here a slender lilac spray is embroidered across fine wool, a butterfly resting above it, worked in flowing stitches touched with soft gold thread. It belongs to the 福来 collection, whose name carries a wish for blessings and fortune to arrive for the one who wears it.
Key Features
Lilac motif (丁香): a fragrant, delicate blossom long held in Chinese art as an emblem of refinement, humility, and youthful grace, with a butterfly above for joy.
Refined embroidery: the lilac spray is worked in smooth, flowing stitches with rich colour and fine gold-thread accents, the lines even and natural across the cloth.
Fine sheep's wool: soft and downy against the skin, light on the shoulders and free of any scratch, for a cloud-like warmth.
Close, refined weave: a fine, densely structured cloth with a neat, considered cut.
Integrated fine-twisted fringe: the tasselled ends are twisted as one with the body of the scarf, falling in a natural, even drape.
How to Wear
At 180 x 30cm, this is a scarf in the classic proportion, easy to reach for every day. Loop it once at the neck and let the fringed ends fall, or wear it open under a coat collar so the embroidered lilac shows toward one end. Light enough indoors and warm enough for the cold, it settles softly over a knit, a coat, or a qipao.
A Gift Ready to Give
Each scarf arrives folded in a red presentation box. Red is the colour of celebration in Chinese tradition, and with a colour for many tastes, from the festive China Red to soft neutrals, this makes a considered gift for weddings, the Lunar New Year, birthdays, and other milestones, ready to give as it is.
