Words from our Founder:
The Mandarin closure draws its essence from the elegance of Ming dynasty garments, where the stand-up collar with knot-buckles became a defining element of women’s clothing.
This design, both modest and functional, symbolizes tradition and adaptability—values shaped by cultural and climatic shifts.
‘’During my travels through China and Asia, I was deeply inspired by the precision and simplicity of tailoring found in traditional garments.
The refined detailing of the Pankou closure resonates with my appreciation for understated sophistication.
For me, it’s the kind of piece I could wear daily as a personal uniform.’’
