ZHUANG BROCADE

A weaving tradition from Guangxi,still shaped by structure, rhythm, and use—carried forward by hand.

What Zhuang Brocade Is

Zhuang brocade is a traditional textile built through repetition, structure, and time. Patterns are not decorative surfaces, but systems formed on the loom.

What you see is not an image.It is a structure.

How It’s Made

Each piece is woven slowly, by hand.

  • The loom is prepared manually.
  • Patterns emerge through repetition, not templates.
  • Irregular edges and variations are preserved.

Time is an essential material—
no two pieces are identical.

Why It Endures

Zhuang brocade endures because it was never meant to be admired once.

It is worn, placed, carried, and lived with—shaped by use, and kept through everyday life.

HOW WE WORK WITH ZHUANG BROCADE

We do not treat Zhuang brocade as a relic.

We select and transform pieces with restraint, while allowing form to emerge from structure.

The craft remains responsible for its rhythm.
