on simple ensemble

indigo-dyed fabric can be quite versatile

just waiting for us to explore more

its floral print is my thing, subtle yet beautiful

I have been eager to design something other than handbags with it

here's the new item

madras and garden variety make up the brooch

mix and match with other fabrics as well

it could turn a crisp white shirt around

Fringe Club moment

I work in collaboration with SOIL to participate in the mini exhibition “Creative Ventures into Publishing, Crafts, Design and Coffee Farms” at HK Fringe Club

four new tote bags with Chinese indigo fabric are featured for the occasion

they are all born out of my deep appreciation for traditional eco-friendly dye

as you can see on the photos below, I turn my attention to appliqué this time

collage pieces come from indigo patterns blended with other textile prints

images of nature and garden appear on the composition

the bag with octagon-shaped print demonstrates the idea of 

taking fabric pattern into account when designing handbags

 this fabric astonishes me since I found out that its patterns were hand painted

it is my way to show respect for the fabric

also, I’m dipping my toes on 3-D forms built into a vivid color/pattern mix

because sculptural design always captures my heart

frankly, I am pleased with the end result

Thank You to my incredible photographer, Chee Haur!
