This vest brings together two textures: the raised velvet satin of Zhangzhou in a soft green ground, woven with motifs in warm beige; and panels of deep brown velvet for a quiet contrast. The patterns are the Four Gentlemen—plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum—each a symbol of virtue and resilience in Chinese culture. A small stand collar frames the neck, and the diagonal closure is finished with a double layer of beige piping—echoing the warm tone of the motifs.
Handwoven, small-batch, made to last. One piece, cut with care.
