锦囊
Embroidered keepsake pouches
Soft colour, a small drawstring, and a place for a personal keepsake.
LOOKING CLOSERA form, a story,
A form, a story,
a way of seeing.
A pouch changes how a small object is carried: the contents are enclosed, while embroidery, colour and cord speak on the outside. The examples here bring cloud-like decoration and written motifs into a familiar portable form.
The photographs show several colourways and an arrangement with small accompanying items. Together they reveal the pouch as both a designed object and a container.
Details to notice
- Compare the red, blue and green colourways.
- The shaped opening and braided cord are part of the design.
