The Hana cheongsam (qipao) is designed for the bride who wants to make a statement at her tea ceremony or reception while staying rooted in tradition.
Crafted in a striking red satin, this gown features a sheer halter neckline that flows into a stunning backless design. The highlight is its detachable back cape, allowing brides the versatility of two looks in one, a dramatic entrance with the cape, and a sleek, sultry silhouette without.
The bodycon fit hugs your figure with elegance, while the gown is adorned with 3D hand-stitched embroidery, combining delicate lace florals with pearl and beaded embellishments for added dimension and luxury. Unlike traditional gowns, Hana does not feature a train, making it ideal for brides who want a modern, movement-friendly design without sacrificing glamour.
This dress is named after Hana Te Hemara, a fearless Māori activist who led the 1972 petition to revive te reo Māori in schools. Her legacy of cultural pride and bold advocacy inspires brides to stand tall in their identity and values.
