Each Retro Xiabu linen lampshade is made from premium Wanzai Xiabu linen, sourced from our own ramie plantations in Jiangxi Province—where mild climates and alkaline water nurture high-quality ramie fibers (known as “China Grass”). The production follows time-honored steps: ramie stalks are hand-stripped, dew-bleached (a chemical-free process using morning dew to soften fibers), hand-spun into fine yarns, and woven into dense Xiabu linen on traditional wooden looms.
The lampshade features a retro drum or empire silhouette (available in 25cm/30cm/35cm diameters) to fit most standard table lamps and floor lamps. The Xiabu linen surface retains the fabric’s natural subtle texture, with optional retro details like hand-stitched linen trims or plant-dyed accent stripes (in muted tones of beige, olive, and light gray). The inner lining uses breathable cotton to protect the Xiabu fabric while ensuring even light diffusion. Each lampshade is finished with a sturdy metal frame that’s easy to install, compatible with E26/E27 lamp bases—no complex tools required.
Authentic Xiabu Craftsmanship: Every lampshade is handwoven by artisans trained in the “Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique” (listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008), with no machine substitution in core weaving processes.
Eco-Friendly Materials: 100% natural Xiabu linen (renewable ramie fiber) and plant-based dyes, free from synthetic chemicals—safe for homes with kids and pets.
Retro Aesthetic: Classic silhouettes and muted, natural hues align with vintage, bohemian, and minimalist home decor trends, avoiding outdated flashy designs.
Durable Structure: Tightly woven Xiabu linen resists fraying, while the rust-proof metal frame ensures long-term use (maintains shape for 5+ years with proper care).

Q1: Can the lampshade withstand high bulb temperatures?
A1: Yes. The inner cotton lining and thick Xiabu linen are heat-resistant, safe for use with bulbs up to 60W (LED/incandescent/halogen). We recommend avoiding bulbs over 60W to protect the fabric.
Q2: How to clean the Xiabu linen surface?
A2: Gently dust with a soft brush or lint roller regularly. For stains, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild neutral detergent—do not machine wash or soak, as this may damage the handwoven structure.
Q3: Is the lampshade compatible with my lamp base?
A3: It fits most standard E26/E27 lamp bases (common in the US, EU, and Asia). The metal frame has an adjustable washer—if your base has a non-standard size, contact our customer service for custom adapter options.
Q4: Are there other retro styles or colors available?
A4: Yes. We offer drum, empire, and bell silhouettes, plus plant-dyed colors like sand brown and sage green. For bulk orders, we can customize trims (e.g., vintage lace) to match specific decor themes.
Q5: Do you provide a certificate of authenticity?
A5: Yes. Each lampshade includes a certificate signed by our national Xiabu heritage inheritor, confirming its handwoven origin and adherence to traditional craftsmanship.
A six-generation legacy of handcraftedartistry. Each piece of Xiabu linen tells astory about nature, tradition, andcraftsmanship.
