Ageless And Timeless Unisex Design
PAOs are rich, splendid, and diverse. After thousands of years of inheritance, development, and innovation, they have always retained their inherent silhouette features: collared, loose-fitting, cut as a single piece from top to bottom, straight-waisted, fastened with belts, and lined with cotton filling.
From the outset, their elegance and artistic aesthetic were favored by nobles, later becoming popular among scholars and ordinary people. The solemn aesthetic has been continuously inherited, while contemporary silk weaving, dyeing, and decoration techniques have been applied to robes of past dynasties. On important occasions, both men and women don traditional PAOs. More than just clothing, they embody a heritage of ritual culture—a function that endures to this day.

Story
Nothing else brings people together quite like a story, and for me, it all began with the countless nights of my childhood. As a child, I’d wake to the gentle whistle of my father—soft as birdsong—standing by the door in a red cotton robe, calling my sister and me to rise. Those mornings were steeped in a warmth so comforting that leaving the cozy haven of our beds felt almost impossible. Sometimes, we’d cocoon ourselves in blankets, padding barefoot across sunlit floors, lost in carefree tranquility.
This journey taught me that clothing is more than mere fabric; it’s a vessel for memories and a bridge connecting generations.
