The picturesque landscape of Dali, with its serene lake and mountains, is more than just a view – it's the lifelong inspiration for Zhang Hanmin, the founder of Dali Blue. As a native Bai woman, she chose to return home to elevate her ancestral craft: tie-dye. For her, it is not just a brand; it's a mission to transform this traditional technique into a modern lifestyle aesthetic.

Every hue of blue is derived from natural indigo dye, capturing the essence of the local environment. Zhang Hanmin meticulously designs high-quality pieces–from apparel to home textiles – proving that heritage crafts belong in contemporary daily life.
