We work slowly: gathering plant color, dyeing by hand, and turning living cultural heritage into objects that can be worn, used, gifted, and remembered.

Our story

A contemporary studio for an old plant language.

XIAZI is a botanical dyeing studio based in Ninghai, Zhejiang. The work begins with local plants and traditional dye methods, then moves into modern textiles, workshops, and cultural collaborations for international audiences.

Each piece is made in small batches. Color variation is part of the work: a record of season, plant, water, hand, and time.
