Exhibition showcases Yi craftsmanship

"I also want to do the same thing to promote Yi embroidery and increase the income of local embroiderers."

Yi artisans in Xichang have created a bag in collaboration with Fendi using a velvety black fabric embroidered with blue, green and aqua-green silk threads, lined with green satin. The bag is also being displayed at the ongoing exhibition.

In the Yi culture, black symbolizes the earth, while green stands for the lush grass and trees. The embroidery is inspired by nature, represented by the soma flower, and combines various stitching types to obtain a vivid and tactile effect.

The 925-sterling silver buckle is handcrafted with beautiful three-dimensional designs.
