From Palace Headdress to Modern Brooch
In the Qing imperial court, ronghua velvet flowers were worn in the hair — Empress Fucha herself favored them over pearls and jade. The craft returned to the spotlight in the hit drama Story of Yanxi Palace, for which Nanjing artisans handcrafted 19 styles of velvet-flower headdresses modeled on pieces preserved in the Palace Museum. HOMI carries that same palace art into modern life: every flower is still twisted by hand from pure mulberry silk, only now it is finished as a brooch — made to be worn on a lapel, a knit, or a scarf, every day.
The same craft, a new everyday ritual.
Intangible Cultural Heritage Artistry
Master artisans roll, trim, and sculpt dyed mulberry silk fibers entirely by hand, creating a sumptuous botanical texture enriched with gilded specks that capture the light.
Nine steps, no molds — every petal is twisted, trimmed, and assembled by hand.
100% natural mulberry silk and pliable brass wire, shaped entirely by hand.
Technique: Traditional Chinese Ronghua Silk Twisting (Zero Mold Production)
