Brand Story
Shanghai Zhengzhang Laundry & Dyeing Co., Ltd. traces its roots to a laundry workshop in the late Qing Dynasty. In the late 19th century, as Shanghai opened its port and Western suits became fashionable, the laundry and dyeing trade emerged. Around 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu's reign), the founder (name to be verified) established a workshop in Shanghai, providing fine laundry and dyeing services for foreign firm employees and celebrities. The craft blended traditional plant-based dyeing with Western chemical cleaning, renowned for being 'clean, smooth, crisp, and fragrant.' Through public-private partnership and reform, Zhengzhang preserved its hand ironing and stain-removal expertise, becoming a microcosm of Shanghai's lifestyle. The name 'Zhengzhang' signifies 'upright and methodical,' embodying generations' pursuit of cleanliness and dignity.
