A small hand-embroidered crossbody bag with a woven strap — about the size of a paperback, and the strap is the soft part.
A small square crossbody bag, hand-embroidered in the folk pattern of Yunnan's Miao and Yi villages. Red cotton-linen ground, with a central panel of red bayberry blossoms. The strap is a flat woven band in matching red, long enough to wear crossbody or short over one shoulder.
The story
The bayberry blossom (杨梅) is one of the small everyday flowers of the south Chinese spring — it shows up across Miao embroidery as a symbol of sweetness and good luck. We pair the embroidery with a woven strap because the woven band sits comfortably on a shoulder and doesn't slip the way a leather strap does on a linen dress.

How to wear it
Wears crossbody over a linen dress in summer, over a black knit in winter. The red is the working color — it carries a cream top and a denim jacket equally well. Best with simple earrings; the bag is the focus.
Care
Spot-clean with a damp cloth. Hand-wash cool inside-out if needed. Lay flat to dry — don't wring the embroidered panel. The woven strap will hold its shape if you store the bag on a flat surface, not hung by the strap.
