A new exhibition at the Museum of Wu in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, invites you to discover the delicate beauty of traditional Chinese embroidered pouches (hebao). Small yet exquisite, these silk-thread creations once held flowers, stored coins, and even kept secret love notes. Worn at the waist or tucked into sleeves, each pouch is a blend of craftsmanship and sentiment.
