Did You Know?

The sleeves could be turned back revealing a band embroidered with women in a landscape of flowers, trees, bridges, and pavilions.
A T-shaped, navy silk jacket is embroidered with vibrant pink, blue, and white flowers and butterflies. A cream-colored border, intricately decorated with tiny figures in landscapes and delicate floral motifs, follows the high round collar, diagonal front opening, hem, and side vents. The broad sleeves and dark, lustrous fabric are scattered with these colorful organic patterns, while the detailed, light-colored trim creates an ornate frame around the garment's main edges.
