About Us
Hi, I'm Seri! I make everything you see at Seri Chang. My studio is based in Southern California and my designs combine modern with traditional. I take inspiration from the vintage and thrifted fabrics I come across, in an effort to produce more sustainable hanfu ♡
✿
how it started
For a long time, I couldn't find hanfu that represented my style and was comfortable against my skin. The majority of hanfu is still made with polyester, which is derived from petrochemicals (fossil fuel). As a plastic, it does not break down in the environment and we are still consuming clothing at an alarming rate. Others use rayon/tencel/viscose, which also use harmful substances like formaldehyde and caustic acid in their production.
Because of this, I made a commitment to sew all my pieces using sustainable and quality fabrics. And there's just something magical about handmade & intentional slow fashion - hanfu should feel good for you and the planet ⋆˙⟡
the inspiration
I was enchanted by the clothing, history, and architecture of Chinese culture since I was little. This inspires many of my pieces, and I can't wait to share more with you :)
Creating Seri Chang has helped me bring together my values and identity in the most beautiful way, and I hope my clothes give you the same feeling too.
