Rooted in the vibrant traditions of the Yi people from Southwest China, this hand-embroidered skirt is a celebration of symbolic color and storytelling geometry. Featuring three structured color zones—rich indigo blue, deep black, and vibrant red—the skirt is adorned with diamond lattice embroidery, flame-like arrow motifs, and stacked patterns that evoke grain, growth, and continuity.

The lower half showcases densely stitched triangular designs in red, green, and white, creating a sense of rhythm and movement. The center features symmetrical tree or arrow motifs, symbolic of vitality and ancestry in many Yi embroidery languages. The waistband is elasticated for comfort, allowing this heritage garment to be worn with ease in contemporary life.
