The Design
About Blooming Flowers Seeking Estuche de Regalo Cosmético
Blooming Flowers Seeking es un estuche de regalo cosmético inspirado en la cultura tradicional china y en las colecciones del Museo del Palacio. Los estuches están fabricados con material laminado blanco porcelana y lucen un emblema hexagonal de dragón con bordes ribeteados en dorado. Motivos de gatos palaciegos, mariposas y flores de durazno decoran el conjunto. Los tubos de lápiz labial y de máscara de pestañas presentan patrones en relieve tridimensionales que evitan el deslizamiento y las huellas dactilares. El interior tipo cajón revela un pergamino con patrones de nubes y olas del océano. Un espejo integrado y un asa de cuero facilitan el transporte del estuche.
