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.
Centuries-Old Ronghua Artistry
Every bamboo leaf is painstakingly rolled, clipped, and sculpted with fine hand scissors, creating a plush velvet texture that softly catches the ambient light.
Nine steps, no molds — every petal is twisted, trimmed, and assembled by hand.
Pure natural silk fibers and flexible craft copper wire, shaped entirely by hand.
Technique: Traditional Chinese Ronghua Silk Twisting (Zero Mold Production)
The Gentleman Among Plants
In Eastern philosophy, bamboo represents integrity, humility, and quiet strength. The serene mist teal (grayish blue-green) palette captures the timeless aesthetic of classical Chinese ink wash paintings—calm, understated, and endlessly sophisticated.
For someone who leads with humility — strong without needing to be loud — a wish you can pin on.
Versatile Wardrobe Accent
Made for quiet moments — a teacup, a bamboo vase, a scroll on the table — and for the coat you reach for when you step out.
Measures approx. 5 × 12 cm, pairing effortlessly with wool overcoats, cashmere knitwear, silk scarves, dresses, or lapels for formal and casual occasions alike.
Heirloom Gift Packaging
Open the box, and the leaves are already arranged — silk bamboo leaves, pearls, and gold accents.
For the quiet strength in your life — a teacher, a friend, or someone who steadies everyone around them.
Presented in a celadon gift box with an artisan certificate of heritage craftsmanship and matching eco-friendly paper tote bag, offering an exceptional unboxing experience for birthdays, anniversaries, holiday celebrations, or art connoisseurs — ready to give as it arrives.
