Recommended

Here are the best silk embroideries we have ever made. Every embroidery work was made by the best embroidery artists in SES. It took 3 months to 8 months to complete an embroidery work of this quality.

People from different countries have different tastes. A silk embroidery popular in one country is not necessarily popular in another country. But there are some silk embroideries that seem almost everyone likes them...

Double Sided Embroidery

E-shop

Besides average double sided embroideries that have two same images, we also make rarely seen works that have two different images on both sides, embroidery works done on one and the same silk fabric, an embroidery skill in danger of extinction that now only several embroidery artists know how to achieve it. We've prepared two video clips to show how the double sided embroidery works look like.

Silk embroideries listed in this section are the most often-made designs. Most of them can be delivered to you within 5 business days after your order, while some may take 1 to 2 weeks before the new copies are finished. Two quality levels for you to choose from, fine quality silk embroideries and top quality silk embroideries.
