This jacket is a very modern creation inspired by the clothing culture of the Xique (Magpie) Miao ethnic group in southwestern China. * This product includes the jacket only; the pleated skirt (百褶裙) is not included. ◆ Design Features The main attraction is the contrast between the lustrous fabric, which has undergone over a thousand hand-hammering processes, and the simple white cotton fabric. Hard and soft, light and shadow. While being ethnic clothing, it has an architectural and contemporary art-like presence. ◆ Materials and Appearance The dull sheen unique to the hammered fabric cannot be achieved through chemical processing. The appearance changes depending on how the light hits it, exuding a quiet presence. Because of the simple color scheme, the beauty of the form and materials stands out. ◆ Styling and Uses ・As ethnic clothing ・Mixed-coordinate with modern clothing ・Wall hanging/interior display This is a highly complete piece that works in any way. ◆ Condition ・Due to its age, there are minor wear and changes in texture associated with use and storage. ・There is no critical damage. ・There may be slight differences in color between the photos and the actual product. We recommend this to those who appreciate the unique appearance of aged fabric.
