The Soul of This Piece
These are not ordinary slippers.
The fish-scale pattern is one of the oldest in Chinese textile art — a symbol of transformation and protection, like a dragon swimming through silk. Wearing them means you carry that ancient luck with every step.
Details
The Making
Suzhou Song brocade is a national intangible heritage — 28 steps from raw silk to finished fabric. The fish-scale motif requires precision: each scale is individually woven into the pattern, not printed. The na-di sole: 12 layers of cotton cloth, hand-stitched into a flexible pad that molds to your foot.
Artisanship
Every fish-scale on this pair is woven into the Song brocade itself — not embroidered on top, not printed. The artisan adjusts thread tension by touch, scale by scale. Three days per pair. This is a pattern that has protected Chinese fishermen for centuries.

Care Instructions
Strictly No Water
The traditional layered cloth soles are crafted from pure cotton. Please avoid rain, puddles, and damp surfaces to preserve their structure.
No Machine Wash
Treat them as wearable art. Machine washing will irreversibly damage the delicate hand-embroidery and meticulous hand-stitching.
Gentle Dusting Only
Never use a stiff brush. Maintain their pristine beauty by gently sweeping away dust with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
Store With Care
When resting, store your shoes in a cool, well-ventilated dry place. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to keep the silk threads vibrant.
