Gold carries a quiet kind of grace—it doesn’t seek attention, yet it holds its own light.

“Tiger Guards the Five Poisons” (虎镇五毒) is revived from a Ming dynasty Wanli-era textile known as “Red-Ground Running Tiger & Five Poisons Zhuanghua Gauze.” With the tiger as its guardian, the motif was created to ward off harm and carry wishes of protection and peace.

Woven into Song brocade, it becomes a gentle blessing for children: a reminder that the world is vast—and that they can be held, protected, and brave.




金色,是一种温柔的庄重。 它不喧哗,却自带光。
有些纹样,不只是好看。「虎镇五毒」纹样复刻自明代万历年间的“红地奔虎五毒妆花纱”,以虎为王,镇守百邪,被人们寄托“驱邪避祟、守护平安”的心愿。
 当我们把它织进宋锦马甲里,也是在延续一种古老而温柔的祝福:愿孩子被好好守护,长大也带着底气与安宁。这一份祝愿不必说出口,却能一路陪伴。

形|虎与五毒
虎昂首而立,神态坚定。蜈蚣、蛇、蝎子、壁虎、蟾蜍——“五毒”元素被收束进纹样里,不见锋利,反而像被驯服的符号。在宋锦的织造中,它们更像一种提醒:世界很大,但你有被守护的可能。

意|把勇敢穿在身上
虎象征勇与护。我们喜欢它的原因,不是因为“威”,而是因为那份“稳”。当金色丝线在光下微微起伏,纹样就像在呼吸——把平安与祝福,轻轻织进孩子的日常。

构|对称带来的安定感
虎的排列多为左右镜像,整齐而克制。这种秩序感,是宋锦的美:不靠张扬取胜,而是让人安心。
