A 500-Year-Old Silk Tradition, Woven into a Bag

★★★★★ 4,000+ Verified 5-Star Reviews

Five centuries ago, under the southern Chinese sun, artisans began dyeing silk not with chemicals — but with the earth itself.

What emerged was Xiang Yun Sha (香云纱), or Fragrant Cloud Silk, a textile so exquisite, it was once reserved for nobility; now recognised nationally as China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (2008).

Today, Tang Heritage revives this endangered art form, transforming it into heirloom pieces for the modern bag collector.

Washed 3 Times, Boiled 9 Times, Dried 18 Times — By Hand

The Making Of An Heirloom Textile

Each length of Xiang Yun Sha silk undergoes a ritual spanning 30 to 40 days, guided not by machines... but by sunlight, patience, and human hands.

‎

The process demands not only physical endurance but years of training — three to four years just to become proficient in the dyeing and sun-curing craft. This mastery marks a true artisan’s status, as few achieve the precision required to perfect every layer.

  • Washed 3 Times: Each wash purifies the silk, removing what’s superficial to reveal what’s pure.
  • Boiled 9 Times: Boiled in wild yam extract, the silk absorbs nature’s tannins, deepening into its signature bronze tone.
  • Dried 18 Times: Laid by hand on open grass fields, the fabric is sun-dried daily, absorbing the warmth, wind, and scent of the earth.


Every stage of this process is a labor-intensive meditation in patience, essentially a month-long dialogue between human craft and natural rhythm.

How It's Made—Full Timeline

Cloud Silk Isn’t Just Rare, It Makes You Look Rare

An Endangered Art, Once Only Worn By Royalty

A silk that makes every outfit look effortlessly refined.

The way it catches sunlight.
The quiet, bronze-like patina that forms over time.
The unmistakable softness.

These aren’t effects you can replicate with synthetic dyes or machine-made silk.

They come only from a slow, natural process shaped by sunlight, river minerals, and time — the very things that give Xiang Yun Sha its unmistakable glow.

And as months pass, it only gets better.

More character. More depth. More you.

40 Hours of Handcraft, For a Bag You’ll Carry for a Lifetime

An Artisan’s Pride

Cloud Silk is an heirloom textile — shaped by nature, refined by tradition, and entrusted only to artisans with over 20 years of experience.

Each bag requires over 40 hours of slow, intentional handwork.

Every cut is measured with care.
Every seam is guided by instinct formed over decades of practice.
Every detail is shaped with the quiet precision Cloud Silk demands.

When you carry a Cloud Silk bag, you’re carrying the result of someone’s patience, pride, and mastery…

A level of work that most modern luxury houses no longer offer.

Forty hours for us.

A lifetime companion for you.

3× Higher Craftsmanship at 6× Lower Cost

The Promise

We don’t cut quality. We cut middleman.

Luxury bags typically retail for $2,200–$5,000 in traditional retail boutiques — not because they cost that much to produce, but because of the 5–6 layers of markups between the artisan and the customer.

Tang Heritage removes all that.

No retail landlords.
No wholesalers.
No middlemen.

Just highly-skilled master artisans, premium cowhide, and rare Xiang Yun Sha silk delivered straight to you.

This is how we offer world-class craftsmanship at a fraction of what traditional luxury brands would charge.

A Bag Almost Lost To History

Once the Xiang Yun Sha silk is perfected, it is entrusted to our atelier artisans — each bag requiring over 40 hours of meticulous handwork.

Not because it’s easy, but because it must be perfect. Because a fabric this scarce deserves craftsmanship that does its 500-year-old tradition justice.

  • Peony-Embossed Xiang Yun Sha
    This silk undergoes 16 complex processes and 35 rounds of dyeing over six months to produce just a few meters. Recognized as an intangible cultural heritage material, it is considered one of the most luxurious and noble silks available.
  • Luxurious Gold-Tone Hardware
    The artisan team meticulously crafts each high-quality alloy metal hardware with high oxidation resistance, exuding luxury while maintaining a balanced weight.
  • Spacious, Structured Interior
    Our artisan emphasises that luxury is not just about beauty—it's about thoughtful compartments that help you stay organised while still maintaining the bag's beauty.
  • Engineered For Longevity
    At Tang Heritage, luxury is not just about beauty—it’s about endurance. The artisan team reinforces each seam, edge, and structure to ensure lasting form and function.
