Brand Story
Pan Yongtai, a textile brand from Zhejiang, traces its roots back to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China (around 1900). During that time, the silk industry flourished in Zhejiang, and the Pan family, skilled in weaving, established the brand with the name 'Pan Yongtai,' symbolizing 'lasting peace and tranquility.' The founder, an expert in dyeing and weaving, was particularly renowned for jacquard weaving, producing silk with exquisite patterns and soft luster that were favored by local gentry. During the Republican era, the brand expanded, integrating Suzhou embroidery and Hangzhou silk gauze techniques to form a unique style. After the founding of New China, Pan Yongtai adapted to the times, preserving traditional handcraft while incorporating modern design, rejuvenating the time-honored brand. Rooted in the elegance of Jiangnan water towns and the spirit of craftsmanship, its culture embodies the historical memory of Zhejiang's textile industry, serving as a living testament to local traditional crafts.
