Brand Story
Chuanpai originates from Zhejiang, with a history tracing back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the late Ming and early Qing, the coastal areas of Zhejiang thrived with commerce and shipping. Local craftsmen began making ship implements to meet the demands of the shipping industry, gradually developing unique skills. By the Qianlong era (1736-1795), Chuanpai's craftsmanship had matured, earning a reputation for exquisite workmanship and durability, becoming a landmark brand. During the Republic period (1912-1949), Chuanpai products were sold both domestically and internationally, favored by merchants. After the founding of New China, Chuanpai's techniques were preserved and integrated with modern elements, continuing to this day. Chuanpai is not just a product; it embodies the diligence, wisdom, and profound maritime culture of the people of Zhejiang.
