More than 2,000 years ago, the poet Qu Yuan (屈原) wrote in the Li Sao (离骚) of drinking at dawn the dew fallen from the magnolia, and the flower has stood ever since for a character kept clean in an unclean world. By the Ming and Qing dynasties it graced scholars' courtyards and imperial gardens alike, its white blossoms opening on bare branches before a single leaf appeared, the first sure sign that winter had loosened its hold. Painters paired it with crabapple and peony to spell out a wish for a Jade Hall of Riches and Honour (玉堂富贵), a blessing on the household and its good name. The \u003cstrong\u003eTang Red 30 Embroidered Magnolia Tote\u003c\/strong\u003e carries that quiet authority into the everyday, a bag made to be kept and carried through many springs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Motif · Magnolia (玉兰)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere the \u003cstrong\u003emagnolia\u003c\/strong\u003e is drawn as a single spray that crosses the front of the bag on a diagonal, rising from the lower corner and spilling over the seam of the angled front panel onto the body beyond. The treatment is tonal: white and silver thread on softly toned leather, with a breath of lilac shading the heart of each petal. Some petals are filled with stitching while others are left as fine silver outline, so the flower reads partly as embroidery and partly as a line drawing, as though the artist set down the brush before the bloom was quite finished. In daylight the silver outlines catch and release the light as the bag moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEmbroidery on Leather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magnolia is \u003cstrong\u003eembroidered directly into cowhide (牛皮刺绣)\u003c\/strong\u003e, a more exacting discipline than embroidery on cloth, since every needle hole in leather is permanent and there is no room to unpick and begin again. The petals are shaded in long and short stitch (长短针), with stitches of varying length laid in the direction of growth so the colour drifts from white at the tips to lilac at the centre. Each petal and leaf is then edged in a fine contour line of silver-toned thread, which gives the design its crisp, drawn quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stitching lies close and flat against the leather, so it wears smoothly against clothing and holds up to daily use. The magnolia artwork itself is an officially registered original design, protected under Chinese copyright law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAwaiting Spring (望春).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eOne of the magnolia's traditional names, given because it blooms on bare branches as the first herald of the new season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJade Hall of Riches and Honour (玉堂富贵).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn Chinese auspicious art the magnolia lends its \"jade\" to this blessing of prosperity and a distinguished household.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe flower of Qu Yuan.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCelebrated in the Li Sao as an emblem of integrity and an unclouded spirit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA half-drawn bloom.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFilled petals and silver line work share one spray, so the flower reads as both embroidery and sketch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidered on leather.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLong and short stitch shading and silver contour lines worked directly into cowhide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA registered original design.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe magnolia artwork is officially registered and protected under Chinese copyright law.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree ways to carry.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTwin top handles, with an adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCowhide leather,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esplit-grain with a smooth, refined coated finish that resists marks and keeps its tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEmbroidery thread,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein white, silver-toned and soft lilac, laid in long and short stitch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTextile lining (内衬),\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein a warm natural beige that makes the contents easy to find.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilver-tone hardware,\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eincluding a pierced round medallion charm with a lattice design, jewel-accented handle fittings and zip pulls, and swivel strap clips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLength 30.5cm at the base (27cm at the top), Width 13cm, Height 19cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.805kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructure:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eModerate, holding its shape while remaining supple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEmbroidered split-grain cowhide with an angled front panel and an exterior zip pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBeige textile lining; 2 zipped compartments, an interior zip pocket and a slip pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTwin top handles; detachable adjustable strap, 108 to 122cm, for shoulder or crossbody wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAn iPad mini, phone, lipstick, earphones and cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePolished silver-tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMist Grey (灰色)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvery Bag Is One of a Kind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each bag is cut, embroidered and finished individually, no two are exactly alike.
