Our Xiabu Tapestry is made from premium Wanzai ramie, a natural fiber known as "China Grass" with unparalleled breathability and durability. The production follows 16 traditional handcraft steps: from manually harvesting ramie stalks, dew-bleaching (a chemical-free method using morning dew to ferment and whiten fibers), hand-spinning ramie into fine yarns, to weaving on antique wooden looms. Each tapestry is woven by artisans with 5+ years of experience, who meticulously arrange every warp and weft to form patterns – ranging from classic Chinese elements (such as lotus, bamboo, and traditional cloud motifs) to minimalist geometric designs, all retaining the natural texture of Xiabu.
Available in three standard sizes (90x120cm, 120x180cm, 150x200cm) and customizable dimensions for bulk orders, the tapestry features a thickened ramie fabric (0.8mm fiber density) that feels sturdy yet soft to the touch. Unbleached versions showcase a warm ivory hue, while dyed styles use plant-based dyes (indigo, madder root, and tea extract) to create soft tones of navy, terracotta, and sage green – all non-toxic, fade-resistant, and compliant with EU eco-textile standards. Each tapestry is finished with hand-sewn linen borders for anti-fray protection and comes with a hidden cotton loop on the back for easy wall hanging.
Authentic Intangible Heritage Craftsmanship: Every tapestry is handwoven by artisans trained in the "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique," with no machine substitution in core processes (spinning, pattern weaving), ensuring each piece is unique with subtle artisanal variations.
100% Natural & Eco-Friendly: Crafted from renewable ramie fiber; the entire production avoids synthetic chemicals (no chemical bleaches, no artificial dyes), making it safe for homes with kids and pets, and biodegradable at the end of its lifecycle.
Unique Textural Aesthetics: The handwoven Xiabu fabric has a delicate, slightly textured surface that reflects light softly, creating a warm, natural ambiance – distinct from mass-produced polyester or cotton tapestries.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Hand-spun ramie yarns retain high tensile strength, and the tight weaving structure resists tearing and pilling; with proper care, the tapestry can maintain its beauty for 8-10 years.
Culturally Rich Patterns: Designs draw inspiration from Chinese traditional art and modern minimalism, balancing cultural heritage with contemporary home decor trends.
High-End Home Decor: Enhances the aesthetic of living rooms, bedrooms, studies, or entryways, adding a touch of cultural elegance to modern, bohemian, or minimalist interiors.
Wall Art Statement Piece: Serves as a focal point on empty walls, replacing ordinary posters or prints with a handcrafted, story-rich artwork.
Functional Textile: Can be used as a throw blanket for sofas or beds (smaller sizes), a tablecloth for dining tables (medium sizes), or a decorative cover for furniture.
Meaningful Gift: Ideal for housewarmings, weddings, festivals (Christmas, Chinese New Year), or as a corporate gift for clients who appreciate cultural artifacts and eco-friendly products.
Cultural Display: Perfect for museums, cultural centers, or boutique hotels to showcase Chinese intangible cultural heritage and add unique character to spaces.
Cultural Uniqueness: Unlike generic machine-made tapestries, our Xiabu tapestry carries a 1,600-year heritage and the certification of Chinese National Intangible Cultural Heritage, offering irreplaceable cultural value.
Superior to Synthetic Decor: Compared to polyester tapestries, it is breathable (avoids stuffiness in closed spaces), hypoallergenic (no harmful chemical residues), and has a more natural, luxurious texture.
Better Than Cotton Tapestries: Ramie fiber is 3x more durable than cotton, resistant to mildew and insects (ideal for humid climates), and does not shrink after washing – solving common issues of cotton decor.
Artisan Quality Assurance: Each tapestry undergoes 3 rounds of quality checks (fiber selection, weaving process, final finishing) by professional inspectors and inheritors, ensuring no loose threads, uneven patterns, or color defects.
Customization Flexibility: We offer custom patterns (e.g., family crests, brand logos, cultural motifs) and sizes for bulk orders, catering to personalized home decor or corporate branding needs.
Residential Spaces: Living rooms (hung above sofas), bedrooms (hung above beds), studies (as wall accents), or sunrooms (for a natural, cozy vibe).
Commercial Spaces: Boutique hotels, cafes, art galleries, cultural museums, or high-end retail stores to enhance ambiance and highlight cultural taste.
Gifting Scenarios: Housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, Christmas, Thanksgiving, or as a diplomatic gift to international partners.
Event Decor: Used as backdrop decor for cultural exhibitions, traditional Chinese-themed parties, or eco-friendly brand events.
Collector Items: Valued by collectors of traditional textiles, intangible cultural heritage artifacts, or handcrafted home decor.
Q1: Is the Xiabu tapestry easy to hang?
A1: Yes. Each tapestry comes with a hidden cotton loop sewn on the top back, and we provide a matching wooden dowel (for standard sizes) – you only need to install two small nails on the wall, and it can be hung in 5 minutes without damaging the tapestry.
Q2: How to clean the tapestry if it gets dirty?
A2: For small stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; for full cleaning, hand wash in cold water (below 30°C) with neutral detergent, then hang in a cool, ventilated place to air dry (avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading). Do not machine wash or bleach to protect the handwoven structure.
Q3: Will the tapestry fade over time?
A3: No. We use plant-based dyes that undergo a 3-step color-fixing process, and tests show the tapestry retains over 90% of its color after 50 washes or 2 years of indoor use.
Q4: Can I order a custom pattern with my family’s initials?
A4: Yes. We accept custom pattern orders (minimum 10 pieces for bulk) – you can provide your design (e.g., initials, family motifs, or favorite scenes), and our artisans will translate it into Xiabu weaving patterns. Contact our customer service for design samples and lead time.
Q5: Do you provide a certificate of authenticity for the tapestry?
A5: Absolutely. Each tapestry comes with a certificate signed by the national-level Xiabu inheritor, stating the production process, materials used, and authenticity of the "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique," which adds value for collection or gifting.
A six-generation legacy of handcraftedartistry. Each piece of Xiabu linen tells astory about nature, tradition, andcraftsmanship.
