Brand Story

Originating in Shanghai, Qianjin's roots trace back to the late 19th century, when the city, as a treaty port, became a melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures, giving rise to the distinctive Haipai craftsmanship. Founded by a group of skilled artisans, the brand merged traditional techniques with Western design, gradually developing its own style. The name 'Qianjin' means 'moving forward,' symbolizing the enterprising spirit of Shanghai. In the early 20th century, Qianjin's products, known for their exquisite workmanship and unique designs, were beloved by locals and became a symbol of Haipai culture. After a period of quietude, the brand has been revitalized in recent years, dedicated to preserving its heritage while embracing innovation, continuing its century-old legacy.
