Drawn from an 18th-century Qing Dynasty textile — court culture where every motif was deliberate: the dragon for the emperor, the phoenix for the empress, specific flowers for each season. The silk and embroidery of those imperial workshops were so refined that European courts paid fortunes for them. This design, personally researched and reimagined by Melodia, carries a piece of that visual language into something you can wear today.
