The blue hour of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, photo by Kim Chan

At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the sky does not simply turn black; it deepens into a profound, heavy indigo. Here, the Naxi women have long worn the cosmos on their backs. Their traditional sheepskin capes, adorned with seven embroidered circles, carry a centuries-old name: "Wearing Stars and Adorning the Moon" (披星戴月). For generations, this garment was a badge of immense diligence, a symbol of women who labored from before dawn until long after dusk, carrying the earth and sky on their backs.

A heritage of strength. The Naxi women wear the stars not as a burden, but as a revered badge of honor.

Often, history reads this legacy of labor purely through a lens of hardship, amplifying the endless obligations and responsibilities placed upon women’s shoulders. But to the Naxi themselves, it is a visual epic of reverence. It is an emblem of honor for the women who are the true pillars of their society—guardians of the earth and the home, who earned the highest respect by carrying the weight of the sky.

Today, across oceans and entirely different lives, the modern woman shares this same quiet resilience. We, too, wear the stars. We hold up our workplaces, our families, and our communities, navigating an era that demands us to be unyielding. But true reverence for this strength does not mean demanding it be exercised without pause. The highest tribute we can offer to the women of our time is the privilege of stillness.

Translating heritage into touch. The Moon Weaver collection turns the structural elegance of Naxi ceremonial dress into a tactile sanctuary.

We designed the Moon Weaver collection as a sensory sanctuary for this exact moment of retreat. We extracted the beauty and reverence of the Naxi heritage, leaving only the softness. The ceremonial crossed bands that once secured the traditional cape are reimagined in our Starbind Square Pillow, its interwoven lines serving as a quiet geometry of connection. The morning frost and snow mist of the highlands are captured in the Crescent Square Pillow, where the front panel embraces you with a luxurious, cloud-like touch.

Yet, the true visual and emotional anchor of this retreat is the Seven Stars Lumbar Pillow.

A softer order. Embracing sculptural forms that respond to the body’s natural need for rest and recovery.

As the way we live shifts, so does the way we shape our spaces. We are inviting a softer order into our homes, embracing sculptural forms that respond intuitively to our need for recovery. The elongated silhouette of the Seven Stars Lumbar is designed to hold space and support your posture as you finally lay your burdens down. The deep navy wool grounds the room, while the tactile richness of the faux fur trim invites you to disconnect from the noise and simply feel.

This is not just a room; it is an emotional landscape. You have worn the stars for the world. Now, let the night sky hold you.
