Step into history with our curated AncientTerracotta Warrior Collection

Step into history with our Terracotta Warrior Collection, inspired by the ancient clay soldiers that have guarded China’s secrets for over two millennia. Discovered in Xi’an, these warriors were commissioned by China’s first Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, as part of his elaborate mausoleum, intended to protect him in the afterlife. The army—comprising thousands of life-sized soldiers, horses, and chariots—has fascinated historians and travelers alike with its intricate craftsmanship and mysterious origins. Each piece in this collection captures the enduring spirit and strength of these ancient guardians, blending art and history with modern style.

The Dragon Collection

The dragon is a powerful symbol in Chinese culture, embodying strength, wisdom, and good fortune. Unlike in the West, where dragons are often depicted as fearsome creatures, the Chinese dragon is revered as a benevolent guardian and was a symbol of imperial authority. It represents the forces of nature and the universe, bringing prosperity and protection to those it favors.

As we approach the end of the Year of the Dragon, this collection offers a final opportunity to celebrate the timeless allure of this legendary creature. Each piece in the collection is inspired by traditional imperial motifs, with designs that capture the dynamic energy and intricate beauty of the dragon. Embrace this chance to honor the dragon's legacy in style and carry its auspicious spirit with you into the new year!

The Samurai Surfer Collection

Did you know that Hokusai didn’t just paint the perfect wave—he immortalized it? Our Samurai Surfer collection brings that epic wave to life, blending ancient warrior spirit with the thrill of riding the tide. Inspired by Japan's legendary ukiyo-e prints, these designs capture the wild freedom of surfing with a nod to the discipline and elegance of the samurai. It's all about catching the wave, embracing adventure, and riding out every challenge life throws at you. Suit up, shred in style, and let the spirit of the warrior ride with you.

The Last Empress Collection

Wanrong was the last Empress of China, born in 1906. These products are for the tragic empress in all of us—married off to a child emperor, exiled from the palace, betraying her country during wartime, and sinking into opium addiction. Her child was murdered by her husband, and she was kept under house arrest in chains. At various points, she tried to escape, but no help was ever forthcoming. Mentally unraveling, she was later imprisoned in the bitterly cold northeast of China, put on display like an animal in a zoo, and eventually left to die, starved and abandoned in her cell in 1946.  Her once-renowned beauty had evaporated, leaving her with rotting teeth and skin.

A cautionary tale, but what’s the caution? Don’t marry an emperor? Don’t stay with a man who doesn’t care for you? Don’t betray your country or become an opium addict? Or maybe, just maybe, it’s this: don’t let fathers, husbands, or governments control the fate and freedom of women. Yeah, that’s probably more like it.
