In this video, filmed at Mingxiu Batik Workshop, Madam Zhang introduces a selection of their innovative batik products. 

Blending traditional patterns of White Collar Miao with Han and even Japanese-inspired motifs, these designs reflect a spirit of experimentation in patterns, colors, and sizes. The adaptations aim to appeal to modern tastes and enhance marketability, making the products more attractive to today’s consumers.
