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.
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.
A Hidden Blessing Within
Inspired by the ancient Chinese symbolism of lotus as a sign of prosperity and renewal, some bags in this series come with a decorative tassel with jade-inspired beads, symbolizing elegance and harmony.
Genuine Bamboo Handle
Fire-shaped and polished by hand, each bamboo handle bears its own natural grain and fine crack lines, unique to the material itself. These marks are part of its organic character, a hallmark of natural craftsmanship.
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.

The Tang Imperial 28 Cloud Silk Peony Basket Bag is a poetic fusion of heritage craftsmanship and natural elegance. Inspired by “晓露牡丹” — peonies blooming under the first light of dawn — each piece is crafted from soft, cloud-sheen silk jacquard, delicately embossed with peony motifs that shimmer like dew upon petals. This subtle interplay of light and texture mirrors the quiet refinement of Tang artistry, where nature and grace converge in harmony.
Its sculptural form is crowned with a hand-polished bamboo handle — a nod to the scholar’s symbol of resilience and virtue — while a flowing jade-bead tassel adds a touch of imperial serenity. The bag’s softly structured silhouette balances timeless tradition with modern sophistication, designed for those who appreciate beauty that whispers rather than speaks.
