Abstract:

Trimming art of traditional Chinese pouches, which mainly contains three basic forms: braid-strip welt, cloth-strip rolloff and embroidering trimming, is an integration of pattern design, color design, weaving art and embroidery art. The first one commonly used in cucurbit pouch, fan cover, glasses bag and such; the second widely used in waist pouch from South of Yangtze River; the third craft is the most complex and always used in highly decorated square or round purse. Different pouch category, decorating style and materials affect the trimming type and appearance. The traditional pouch production process has long been forgotten, thus its academic research and protective development are necessary, and the various concerning processes need further study.
