About Blooming Flowers Seeking Coffret cadeau de cosmétiques

Blooming Flowers Seeking est un coffret cadeau de cosmétiques inspiré de la culture traditionnelle chinoise et des collections du Musée du Palais. Les étuis sont réalisés dans un matériau en feuille blanc porcelaine et arborent un emblème hexagonal au dragon souligné de dorures. Des motifs de chats du palais, de papillons et de fleurs de pêcher ornent l'ensemble. Les tubes de rouge à lèvres et de mascara présentent des motifs gaufrés en relief qui empêchent le glissement et les traces de doigts. L'intérieur, conçu comme un tiroir, révèle un rouleau orné de motifs de nuages et de vagues océaniques. Un miroir intégré et une poignée en cuir rendent le coffret facile à transporter.
