A Nanyang Qipao, Designed for the Tropics
Look closely at the collar.
Adapted from the traditional mandarin collar, it rises high at the back before gently sloping into a low neckline at the front — retaining its Chinese lineage while allowing greater ease and comfort in the tropics.
Cut in fine linen in deep Inkstone Blue, the fabric has been reinforced to hold its clean, sculpted silhouette while remaining light and breathable.
Across the bodice, colourful fishes swim in harmony — first drawn by hand, then translated into embroidery by Korean artisans, bringing another layer of cross-cultural craft to the piece.
Comes in a top as well, Swimming in Colour, which has a striking fuchsia accent in our signature two-tone collar.
For us, this is what a Nanyang Qipao can be:
rooted in tradition, shaped by our tropical environment, and reimagined through contemporary design.
