Su embroidery – A Timeless Heritage

Su embroidery is the general term for embroidery art centered in Suzhou, and it is one of China's "Four Famous Embroideries" alongside Xiang, Yue, and Shu embroideries. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, records of "embroidered garments" in the Wu region date back to the Spring and Autumn period. Renowned for its exquisiteness, delicacy, elegance, and neatness, Su embroidery features more than 40 stitch types across nine major categories. Its works are celebrated for their beautiful patterns and refined colors, earning it the reputation of "Oriental art."
