Sharing authentic Chinese ethnic minority’s and Japanese traditional cultural crafts in London
Exciting News
Yi Crafts Indigo Collection Now Available at the V&A Museum Shop, We are thrilled to announce that our Yi Crafts Indigo Collection has officially joined the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) Shop in London — one of the world’s leading destinations for art, design, and craftsmanship.
Rooted in the ancient textile traditions of Southwest China, our Indigo Collection celebrates the artistry of natural dyeing and hand-stitched craftsmanship passed down through generations of Yi and other ethnic communities. Each piece carries the deep blue hues of indigo — a symbol of heritage, resilience, and beauty.
This collaboration marks a meaningful milestone for Yi Crafts, connecting traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design and global audiences. Discover the collection in person at the V&A Museum Shop or explore it online via the V&A’s curated selection.
We are deeply grateful to share the stories, skills, and spirit of Southwest China with the world — one handmade piece at a time. ✨ Art, tradition, and culture — woven together at the V&A.
Intercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives, and hand crafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing. By joining Yi Craft’s experiences, or purchasing goods crafted by the ethnic minorities of Yunnan, you’ll get an authentic experience of China’s hidden beauty and culture.
