shang xia

Launched in 2010 as a collaboration between designer Jiang Qiong Er and Hermès, Shang Xia is a Chinese lifestyle brand dedicated to reviving the nation's artisanal heritage for a contemporary audience. The name, translating to “Up Down,” reflects a philosophy of bridging past and future, tradition and innovation. The brand’s collections span furniture, home décor, ready-to-wear, leather goods, and accessories, all rooted in the aesthetics of Chinese dynasties like the Han, Song, and Ming. This vision is expressed through meticulously crafted pieces, such as carbon-fiber chairs inspired by Ming dynasty furniture and cashmere felt coats that showcase modern applications of ancient techniques.
