Pink Peony Crown 175cm Silk Jacquard Crepe Shawl
Long silk shawl in 14 momme jacquard plain crepe satin with machine-finished edges (100% mulberry silk).The Pink Peony Crown is a silk jacquard crepe shawl of full, generous beauty.
It is woven from 14 momme pure mulberry silk in a plain crepe satin weave, so the fabric carries both the soft lustre of satin and the supple drape of crepe. The peony motifs are woven directly into the cloth — not printed onto the surface.Made in Hangzhou. Dimensions: 175 cm x 53 cm. Slight variations of ±3 cm may occur.
DESIGN / About the Design
The peony holds a singular place in Chinese culture. It is 品冠群芳 — the crown among all flowers — celebrated for a thousand years in imperial gardens, classical poetry, and silk painting. Here, large blooms in blush, rose pink, and soft white fill the cloth in a composition of extraordinary abundance.
The petals are layered in the manner of classical ink painting, so each bloom has depth and dimension rather than flatness. The white ground allows the pink tones to breathe and radiate. The result is a shawl that feels simultaneously celebratory and refined — bold in its beauty, yet entirely composed in its execution.
THE CRAFT / Jacquard Plain Crepe Satin (提花素绉缎)
Plain crepe satin — 素绉缎 — combines a satin face with a crepe structure. The result is a surface that is smooth and luminous without being stiff or heavy. The drape is fluid and the handle is exceptionally soft against the skin.The jacquard weave constructs the peony motifs within the fabric itself during weaving.
This is distinct from printed silk, where designs are applied after the cloth is made. The woven motifs, in turn, catch the light differently from the ground fabric — creating a subtle tonal relief that shifts as the shawl moves.
At 14 momme, this shawl is also lightweight enough for year-round wear. It breathes well in spring and summer, while offering a gentle layer of warmth in cooler months.
