The lotus is Buddhist: purity, stillness, the seat of the Buddha. The dragon is imperial and belongs to water — rain, rivers, a harvest that comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phoenix is the one that carries no religious weight at all. It was carved on beam ends, stair flanks and roof corners for a single reason: to say that the country was at peace and prosperous, and that there was beauty worth noticing. That is a narrower meaning than most people expect from a thousand-year-old motif, and a more human one. It asks nothing of whoever wears it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is drawn holding a pearl and moving through cloud. In the source the plumage carries five colors, one for each of the five elements. Ly dynasty drawing is soft and flowing; by the Tran the same bird is drawn sturdier and more decisive.

Silk sheds dust on its own, so every three to five wears is plenty. Cold water, shampoo or body wash rather than laundry detergent. Squeeze, never wring. Dry in shade, never in sun — pale grounds are where sun fading and marks show first, so keep this one out of direct light and away from perfume sprayed after it is on.

The lotus is Buddhist: purity, stillness, the seat of the Buddha. The dragon is imperial and belongs to water — rain, rivers, a harvest that comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phoenix is the one that carries no religious weight at all. It was carved on beam ends, stair flanks and roof corners for a single reason: to say that the country was at peace and prosperous, and that there was beauty worth noticing. That is a narrower meaning than most people expect from a thousand-year-old motif, and a more human one. It asks nothing of whoever wears it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is drawn holding a pearl and moving through cloud. In the source the plumage carries five colors, one for each of the five elements. Ly dynasty drawing is soft and flowing; by the Tran the same bird is drawn sturdier and more decisive.

It was carved on beam ends, stair flanks and roof corners for a single reason: to say that the country was at peace and prosperous, and that there was beauty worth noticing. That is a narrower meaning than most people expect from a thousand-year-old motif, and a more human one. It asks nothing of whoever wears it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is drawn holding a pearl and moving through cloud. In the source the plumage carries five colors, one for each of the five elements. Ly dynasty drawing is soft and flowing; by the Tran the same bird is drawn sturdier and more decisive. This is the earlier version, the softer one — the same period that built the One Pillar Pagoda, Phat Tich and Chua Dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur studio redraws every motif by hand from archive photographs, then splits it into screens. Hand screen printing means one screen and one pass for every color, panel by panel, in Hanoi.

Silk sheds dust on its own, so every three to five wears is plenty — more often if it is being slept in. Cold water, shampoo or body wash rather than laundry detergent. Squeeze, never wring.

This is the earlier version, the softer one — the same period that built the One Pillar Pagoda, Phat Tich and Chua Dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur studio redraws every motif by hand from archive photographs, then splits it into screens. Hand screen printing means one screen and one pass for every color, panel by panel, in Hanoi. Not a file an algorithm sold to a thousand brands, which is the part nobody can copy and the part she gets to explain when somebody asks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eThe box, the care, and the returns\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn the box\u003c\/b\u003e A rigid gift box and matching bag · the square folded in tissue · a story card naming the motif and its dynasty · an illustrated styling guide · a care card · the silk cutting.

Silk sheds dust on its own, so every three to five wears is plenty. Cold water, shampoo or body wash rather than laundry detergent. Squeeze, never wring — and with a meter of cloth, lift it out supported rather than letting the weight of the water pull on one corner. Dry flat in shade, never in sun: pale grounds are where fading and marks show first. Iron on the lowest silk setting while still faintly damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReturns\u003c\/b\u003e Thirty days from delivery, unused and unwashed, in the original box. If the fault is ours, a flaw in the silk, a print error, a seam that failed, postage goes both ways on us and you get a replacement or a full refund. Changed your mind? Thirty days, return postage yours, and if you take store credit instead of a refund we add fifteen percent. One condition, the same one every silk house applies: anything worn against hair or skin comes back clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ctable class=\"ff-sp\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Grade 5A mulberry silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePastel Green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhung Vu Van Ca · Phoenix Dance · Ly and Tran Dynasty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSource\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLy and Tran temple carving, northern Vietnam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 momme\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 × 44 in  ·  110 × 110 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand screen-printed, double-sided\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-rolled, hand-stitched · 440 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTesting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTextile Testing Center, Vietnam Textile Research Institute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHanoi, Vietnam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ff-close\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"t\"\u003eA meter of pastel green silk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe largest pale thing we make, and the only size that holds the whole drawing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"d\"\u003eSixteen momme, printed through both faces, 440 centimeters of hem rolled by hand in Hanoi.
