Our Story: From Nanjing Workshops to Your Wardrobe

Every Lunar Bloom piece begins as a single strand of velvet-threaded wire, shaped by hand in our Nanjing studio. It leaves as something you wear on a day worth remembering.

Where It All Begins

Lunar Bloom started with a simple question: why are the flowers we keep — the one pinned to a wedding bouquet, a graduation gown, a favourite coat — so rarely made by hand any more? Our studio in Nanjing was built around the answer. A small team, shaping velvet flowers petal by petal, one at a time.

How a Flower Is Made

There is no mould and no shortcut. Each petal is cut, fluffed, dyed and shaped around a slender wire before it is assembled into a flower — a single bloom can take a full day. It is slow work, and it is why no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

What We Make

Hair combs, clips and brooches for weddings, ceremonies and the everyday — designed to be worn more than once. The palette is soft rather than bright: ivory, champagne, dusty rose, sage. They sit easily with what you already own, and they photograph beautifully.

Made to Be Worn Again

These are not single-occasion pieces. Keep the flower dry, store it in its box, and it will be ready for the next moment that matters. Read the care guide for the few things worth knowing.
