Taskopen Peony Embroidered Ao Dai Tea Ceremony

The Taskopen Peony Embroidered Ao Dai Tea Ceremony is crafted for the tea ceremony context — the formal Vietnamese family ritual of wedding celebrations and major family occasions — providing a garment whose embroidery and construction quality are appropriate to the significance of the occasion while being wearable in the seated, serving, and bowing postures that the tea ceremony requires. The peony is a signature motif in Vietnamese decorative arts and textile embroidery, representing prosperity, romance, and feminine grace — and Taskopen’s Peony Embroidered places a large-scale, single-branch peony composition as the primary design element on the front panel of the tunic, running from the left shoulder across the chest and down to the right hip. The composition is worked in a combination of flat satin stitch and raised padded satin stitch that creates dimensional depth in the flower petals, giving the embroidery a sculptural quality visible from across a room. Petal colors are available in pink-on-red, gold-on-navy, and ivory-on-burgundy colorway combinations, with each combination chosen by Taskopen’s design team to work harmoniously between the embroidery thread palette and the silk-satin base. The silk-satin fabric has a mirror-bright front face and a soft matte reverse, making the base fabric as visually impressive as the embroidery it carries. The concealed side zip allows the fitted silhouette to be donned without assistance. Matching wide-leg satin trousers with a coordinating peony sprig at the ankle hem complete the set. Sizes XS to 3XL. Dry clean only.
