As the lives of Chinese people improve, we will start to look back on our cultural roots. More and more Chinese are looking for an art of living through elements such as tea, incense and meditation. Also, many Chinese traditions are rooted around the concept of family. Shangxia’s philosophy creates products that are rich in heritage and emotion and promote the concept of sharing across multiple generations.

With Shangxia we are also trying to offer craftsmen a market for their products where they can gain respect. Now in China its easier for young people to work in a coffee shop than do a five year crafts apprenticeship. We hope that through Shangxia people discover the value and become interested in learning these crafts.

To coincide with the opening of the Beijing boutique, Shangxia is also staging an exhibition of Chinese contemporary craftsmanship till the end of October. The exhibition showcases items from Shangxia’s new collections and displays craft techniques for furniture, tea, fashion and jewelry.

At the exhibition Shangxia craftsmen will demonstrate their arts through cashmere and bamboo weaving etc. There will also be incense and tea experiences on offer.

Appointments to visit the exhibition will be made available on Shangxia’s website in the coming days.
