Each Wanzai Xiabu Traditional Hanfu starts with premium local ramie, processed via 15+ traditional handcraft steps: fresh ramie stalks are stripped, undergo natural dew-bleaching (using morning dew to ferment and degum fibers without chemicals), hand-spun into smooth, tough yarns, and woven into Xiabu fabric on vintage wooden looms. The fabric, with its unique fine texture and soft ivory base (or subtle plant-dyed tones like light indigo and tea brown), forms the foundation of the Hanfu’s classic cuts.
We offer two iconic Hanfu styles: the "Jiaoling Youren" (cross-collar with right-over-left closure) and "Duijin" (front-buttoned) designs, both featuring wide sleeves and a flowing silhouette that honors Hanfu’s historical essence. Details include hand-stitched hems, bamboo or jade buttons, and optional minimal embroidery of traditional motifs (plum blossoms, cloud patterns) using natural threads. Sizes range from XS to XXL, with custom sizing available. Each piece is inspected by our master artisans to ensure it meets the standards of authentic Xiabu Craftsmanship and Hanfu tradition.

Q1: Is this Hanfu suitable for Western body types?
A1: Yes. While we follow traditional Hanfu silhouettes, our sizing includes adjustments for Western body proportions (e.g., shoulder width, torso length). Custom sizing is also available to ensure a perfect fit.
Q2: How do I care for the Wanzai Xiabu Hanfu to maintain its quality?
A2: Hand wash in cold water with mild neutral detergent; do not wring or machine wash. Air dry flat in shade (avoid direct sunlight to prevent dye fading). Iron on low heat with a cloth between the iron and fabric to protect the Xiabu texture.
Q3: Can I request custom embroidery or colors?
A3: Yes. For orders of 5+ pieces or individual custom commissions, we offer personalized embroidery motifs (based on traditional designs) and plant-dyed color options. Contact our customer service for details.
Q4: Does the Hanfu come with documentation of its authenticity?
A4: Every piece includes a certificate of authenticity, signed by our master artisans and heritage inheritors, detailing the Xiabu production process and Hanfu design specifications.
Q5: Is the fabric scratchy, like some traditional ramie products?
A5: No. Our Xiabu undergoes multiple softening steps during processing (including dew-bleaching and gentle weaving), resulting in a smooth texture that is comfortable against the skin – even for first-time ramie fabric wearers.
A six-generation legacy of handcraftedartistry. Each piece of Xiabu linen tells astory about nature, tradition, andcraftsmanship.
