Wrap Cheongsam - Blue Cranes (4Y, 5Y left!)
The Wrap Cheongsam in Blue Cranes is a sleeveless, knee-length wrap cheongsam (qipao) for girls with decorative pink buttons and a pleated under-skirt with a bow, made for Chinese New Year visiting, reunion dinners and family photos. The outer layer is 100% woven cotton and it is fully lined, so it stays breathable through a warm Singapore CNY.
Our hand-drawn Blue Cranes print shows cranes flying over a sky-blue river, where a figure in a rice-planting hat rows a boat, in the style of a Chinese landscape painting. Cranes are a traditional symbol of longevity, peace and good fortune. Match her brother in the boys' Mandarin-collared Shirt, the baby in the Flare Cheongsam, Dad in the Men's Mandarin-collared Shirt or Mum in the Ladies Sasha Dress.

Designed for Families in Singapore
Every elly print is hand-drawn in house by our design team in Singapore.
