FayWeaver

Six generations, still in the making.

FayWeaver originates from Wenzhou, China, carrying forward six generations of qipao-making tradition as a recognized bearer of intangible cultural heritage and a century-old time-honored brand. Today, it is run by three generations of women—grandmother, mother, and daughter.

Drawing on family memory and traditional craftsmanship, FayWeaver preserves the spirit of hand-making while continuously exploring new expressions of material, structure, and cultural symbols in a contemporary context.

With bespoke qipao and contemporary Chinese fashion at its core, the practice also extends into interiors and lifestyle. FayWeaver creates designs and bespoke pieces for women, men, children, and even pets, while collaborating with artisans across China and around the world. Through embroidery, traditional textiles, and innovative materials, craftsmanship shaped across generations and geographies is reinterpreted as a design language that enters contemporary life and space.

FayWeaver’s work has been presented at New York Fashion Week FW25, Paris Design Week 2025, and London Craft Week 2024.

Rather than reproducing tradition, FayWeaver is interested in how it can continue to be seen, used, understood, and reimagined in the present. “Weaving” is not only a craft, but also a form of connection—connecting past and future, East and West, people and memory.
