Floating Lacquer Silk Hair Bow

A Bow That Can Never Be Made the Same Way Twice

A classic bow, transformed by color and traditional Chinese craftsmanship.

The Floating Lacquer Silk Hair Bow combines a soft, flowing silhouette with the unpredictable beauty of hand-floated natural lacquer.

Across the surface, blush pink, lavender, soft green, warm yellow, coral, and ivory move freely into one another. Some colors form broad, quiet areas. Others break into fine lines, splashes, and organic textures.

Look closer and you will see that the pattern does not repeat.

Because it was never printed.

Each pattern is created by hand using our traditional Chinese lacquer marbling technique, allowing natural lacquer to float, spread, meet, and separate before becoming part of the finished piece.

The artisan can guide the colors.

But the lacquer always leaves something to chance.

That is why no two bows can ever be exactly alike.

The result is a handmade silk hair bow that feels playful from a distance and reveals its craftsmanship when seen up close.

A little color for your hair.

A small piece of art made to be worn.

Not Printed. Created by Movement.

What makes this silk hair bow different is not simply its color.

It is how the color gets there.

Natural lacquer is traditionally derived from the sap of the lacquer tree. For this piece, different colors are carefully prepared and floated by hand.

As the lacquer moves, the colors spread and interact naturally.

Pink may dissolve into ivory.

Lavender may form a quiet pool of color.

Green, coral, and yellow may appear as small unexpected accents.

The final pattern depends on the movement of the lacquer at that exact moment.

There is no digital print.

There is no repeating pattern.

And there is no second identical piece waiting on a shelf.

Traditional Craft, Made for Today

Natural lacquer has a long history in Chinese craftsmanship.

For XIAN, preserving a traditional craft does not mean keeping it in the past.

We want it to become part of everyday life.

That is why we bring traditional Chinese lacquer craftsmanship to contemporary accessories — pieces you can actually wear, style, and make your own.

On this bow, the flowing lacquer pattern meets a familiar, feminine silhouette.

Traditional technique.

Modern color.

Made to be worn today.

One Bow. One Pattern.

Every Floating Lacquer Silk Hair Bow is different.

Even when two pieces are created using exactly the same colors, natural lacquer will never move in exactly the same way twice.

The position of the pink may change.

The lavender may become softer or more prominent.

The green and yellow may form completely different lines.

Your finished piece will follow the same overall color palette and visual direction shown in the product photographs, but the exact pattern will belong only to your bow.

That difference is intentional.

It is part of the craft.

Made to Be Worn

The oversized silhouette makes this bow an easy statement piece without requiring an elaborate hairstyle.

For a ponytail:
Add color and movement to a simple everyday hairstyle.

For a half-up style:
Let the long flowing tails become part of the silhouette.

For a bun:
Use the bow as a softer, more expressive finishing detail.

For simple outfits:
Pair it with white, cream, denim, black, or other neutral colors and let the lacquer pattern become the focal point.

From everyday outfits to weekends, dinners, galleries, or special occasions, it is designed to turn a simple hairstyle into something more personal.

Handcrafted to Order

Each piece is handcrafted to order.

Because every natural lacquer pattern is individually created by hand, production takes approximately 5–7 business days before shipment.

Variations in pattern, color placement, texture, and lacquer movement are expected.

These are not flaws or printing inconsistencies.

They are the natural result of a handmade process and are what make every piece unique.

Create Your Own Color Combination

Want this bow in your own colors?

We also offer custom lacquer color combinations.

Choose two main colors you love, and our artisans can create a personalized floating-lacquer composition around your preferred palette.

You can also send us a reference image — a flower, landscape, painting, outfit, photograph, or simply a color combination you love.

We will use it as inspiration for the overall color atmosphere rather than copying the image exactly.

Custom pieces generally require 2–3 additional days of preparation, depending on the design.

Because natural lacquer moves unpredictably, the final pattern cannot be exactly predetermined.

Your colors can be chosen.

Your pattern happens only once.

Please contact us before placing a custom order.

Please Note

Every bow is handmade using natural lacquer.

Small differences in color, texture, pattern placement, and surface movement are a natural part of the traditional lacquer process.

The appearance of natural lacquer may also continue to develop subtly as it naturally oxidizes.

If you receive a piece with a clear craftsmanship defect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery for assistance.

No returns or exchanges for non-quality issues.
