Description
This jacket pairs a near-monochrome front with a vivid Qilin composition on the back. The creature is worked in layered blues, greens and pinks, while gold couching outlines scales, cloud forms and ornamental details. The dark ground is not plain: subtle butterfly-and-flower jacquard appears as light moves across the surface. In Chinese tradition, the Qilin is an auspicious mythical being associated with virtuous rule and favorable omens; historical textiles also used it as a powerful emblem of status and blessing. The result is a refined piece of wearable symbolism without claiming antique court provenance.
Craft: Su embroidery with gold couching.
Materials: Vintage silk satin with butterfly-and-floral tonal jacquard; silk and acetate-jacquard components in the lining structure.

Care: Specialist professional cleaning is recommended. Do not machine wash, soak, wring or bleach. Store in a dry place away from prolonged sunlight.
