About Zhejiang Metal Frame Bags

Each bag is created in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, the very homeland of silk, following the old-fashion style of the Chinese metal frame purse, a national iconic item particularly appreciated in the West for its exotic and exquisite taste reaching a peak of popularity worldwide between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Originally made from embroidered rank badges and finished with precious bracelets as loop handles, this type of bag further evolved in its own style, though keeping its original characteristics: a kiss lock metal frame with a metal straps or handles assembled with a piece of fine fabric to give a pouch shape. This particular bag is created with Zhejiang Silk Brocade. This fabric is cherished worldwide for the intricacy of the patterns, including 58+ weaving techniques and a decorative style inspired on traditional Chinese paintings. Zhejiang brocade is realised through a traditional multithread Jacquard loom, using the iridescent properties of silk to create a unique yin-yang alternance of light and dark for a realistic effect. In 2011, Chinese government has enlisted Hangzhou Brocade in the national intangible heritage.
