Traditional Craft

From the Ancient Courts to Your Wardrobe

In the quiet workshops of Nanjing, artisans have been crafting velvet flowers �� known as ronghua �� for over a thousand years. These intricate blooms, once reserved for Chinese nobility, now adorn fashion runways and living rooms around the world.

What Makes Velvet Flowers Special?

Unlike silk flowers or dried flowers, ronghua are made from raw silk velvet, shaped petal by petal using techniques passed down through generations. Each flower requires hours of meticulous handwork:

  • Selecting the velvet �� Only the finest silk velvet will do, chosen for its sheen and durability
  • Cutting the petals �� Each petal is hand-cut to specific templates
  • Binding the structure �� Wire frameworks give the flowers their lasting shape
  • Assembling the bloom �� Petals are layered and bound with fine silk thread
