"Absolutely love this one! It looks even better in person, the photos almost don’t do it justice. Very comfortable & great fitting, worth every penny!"
Amazing shirt - perfect for the year of the dragon
"The details on this shirt are amazing. Jiannan’s design comes to life and is executed perfectly. Won’t stop wearing this past the year of the dragon!"
Lunar New Year Buy
"Sought out this shirt for an Lunar New Year event. Embroidery is fantastic, but the shirt quality feels coarse and inexpensive. Will probably upcycle embroidery to another article of clothing once the shirt wears down."
