Description

Handmade and hand-embroidered Miao bags, originally created over 80 years ago as traditional baby carriers. In Miao culture, these carriers are deeply symbolic - expressions of protection, motherhood, lineage, and love. Stitched by hand and passed through generations.

The embroidered motifs reflect themes often found throughout Miao culture - protection, fertility, harmony with nature, and blessings passed from mother to child. Carefully repurposed into wearable bags, each piece remains entirely one of a kind, carrying the textures, markings, and spirit of the hands that made it.

  • 100% Miao cotton bag

Our silk is naturally anti-microbial and very durable: you can wear it many times before washing. But when it's time, hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Hang to dry. Steam to remove any wrinkles. If ironing, iron on low heat.
