Red Fortune | Hanfu Wedding Shoes (花开锦绣）

Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage

Hand-embroidered by master artisans with over 12 years of experience using China’s intangible cultural heritage Suzhou embroidery technique: Crane patterns are outlined with gradient gold thread, feather layers meticulously rendered with “solid-and-shadow stitches,” auspicious cloud motifs spread with “flat stitches,” featuring 18 stitches per square centimeter. The red-gold color scheme creates striking visual tension. In Chinese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity, good fortune, loyalty, and perfect harmony, while auspicious clouds signify enduring blessings. The vibrant red shoe upper represents joyous celebrations and smooth journeys. This pair serves not only as wedding shoes but also as a wearable intangible cultural heritage piece carrying heartfelt blessings.

Care Instructions

• Avoid washing silk uppers. For surface stains, gently wipe with a dry towel dampened with a small amount of neutral detergent. For crane-pattern embroidery, use a soft-bristled brush dipped in clean water to gently brush the area. Do not use bleach or hot water to prevent fabric fading and loosening of embroidery threads.
• Avoid wearing in rainy weather. If accidentally exposed to water, immediately blot dry with a clean towel. Insert shoe trees (or paper towels) to maintain the toe shape, then air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight (to prevent silk aging and color fading).
• For long-term storage, individually wrap in a dust bag with desiccant to prevent moisture. Avoid contact with sharp objects. After the wedding, store as keepsake shoes to extend their lifespan.
