Maple Leaf Velvet Hair Pin | Rong Hua Collection

Autumn, Captured in Velvet

Inspired by the fleeting beauty of falling maple leaves, this maple leaf velvet hair pin is handcrafted using the traditional Chinese art of rong hua (绒花). Each leaf is individually shaped from fine velvet, layered and veined by hand to capture the warmth and movement of an autumn canopy.

Why You'll Love It

• Maple Leaf Design — Delicately sculpted velvet leaves in rich autumnal tones — deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden ambers — that evoke the season's most iconic moment.
• Hand-Formed Velvet Craft — Each leaf is shaped petal by petal using rong hua techniques passed down through generations of Chinese artisans.
• Vivid, Lasting Color — Velvet holds pigment beautifully, giving the leaves a rich, saturated depth that doesn't fade.
• Lightweight & Secure — Sits comfortably in the hair without pulling, suitable for all-day wear.
• Seasonal Yet Timeless — A stunning accent for autumn weddings, festivals, photo shoots, or any occasion that calls for something truly special.

The Rong Hua Tradition

Rong hua is a Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage with over 1,000 years of history, once reserved for the imperial court. Today, master artisans continue this rare craft — shaping silk and velvet into botanicals of extraordinary realism, one thread at a time.

Each pin is handmade. Natural variations in leaf shape, color depth, and arrangement are part of what makes every piece uniquely yours.
