High Quality

Our Shenaini products are renowned for their exquisite quality! We use the very best zippers on the market which we have custom-made to match our large variety of fabrics and hand embroidery. Our highly skilled seamstresses take great pride in their sewing. The quality is ensured as each bag is carefully and methodically inspected by our very fussy Miao Product Inspector, Long Ying.

Hand Embroidered

Each bag is lovingly hand embroidered by our Miao village ladies using our buttery soft black cotton cloth and carefully selected DMC® threads imported from France. They work with patterns that I, the American designer, created, having been inspired by their traditional embroidery styles.

Hilltribes Women

We came to this area of central China to specifically work with the Miao hilltribes women. They have been hand embroidering patterns of birds, butterflies, and flowers on their costumes for many generations. These Miao women have their own minority language and many are not able to speak Chinese. We like providing them a workplace where they can communicate in their mother tongue, and where they know that their culture is respected.
