In Chinese mythology, the tiger’s body turns white when it reaches its milestone 500th birthday. To celebrate the 250th<br />

birthday of <strong>Hand</strong> & Lock embroidery tradition, the tiger has begun its transformation to white through the brightness of a<br />

high-luster, pearl embroidered skirt. Thousands of these pearls follow a gradient which also represents the tiger’s gradual<br />

metamorphosis. Mirror embroidery symbolizes self-reflection and looking back on heritage, tradition and the many<br />

changes that take place across a long life. The bold yellow of the overall design represents the eye of the tiger, and this is<br />

accented by the sparkle of custom, hand-painted sequins. Finally, the tiger’s striking visage is depicted on the reverse of the<br />

crop top in 3D high-relief embroidery with tubular black glass beads – a nod to its heritage and original colors.<br />
