Suzhou Embroidery

Why AURTRS?
Heritage Crafts, Quietly Made
We work in two of China's heritage crafts: mulberry silk, a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, and Suzhou embroidery, a national intangible cultural heritage. Both are crafts China chooses for its state gifts.
We keep our range small: mulberry silk for the night, and scarves in silk and wool carrying Suzhou embroidery, each in six colours. Fewer products means more care in the details — the weight of the silk, the finish of every seam and a box that is ready to give.
100% wool with Suzhou embroidery
Made for Cold Mornings
Product Features
What is the scarf made of?
100% wool, with a Suzhou-embroidered blossom motif. It is reversible, with a different tone on each side.
What is Suzhou embroidery?
Su embroidery comes from Suzhou, China, where it has been practised for more than 2,000 years. It is one of China's four great embroidery traditions and is listed as national intangible cultural heritage. It is known for fine threads, delicate shading and flowers that look almost painted.
Why wool?
Wool is naturally warm without being heavy, breathes so you don't overheat indoors, and resists odour, so it rarely needs washing — just air it out between wears.
How big is it?
30 × 180 cm (about 11.8 × 70.9 in), long enough to wrap twice or drape loose.
What do the badges on the photos mean?
They mark the craft behind this scarf. Su embroidery was listed in China's first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006 (the 苏绣 seal), and it is a craft China chooses for its state gifts (the 国礼 seal, meaning “state gift”). The badges describe the craft, not an award given to this product.
