Shang Xia
Shang Xia is a Chinese brand which produces handbags, shoes, clothing, and furniture.[1] It is majority-owned by Dutch holding company Exor NV.
History
[edit ]Shang Xia was founded in 2010 as a joint collaboration between Hermès Group and Chinese designer Jiang Qiong-er.[2] The brand's first bag, the Lan Yue, was a leather-textured imitation of a bamboo bowl. Its Da Tian Di chair is a reinterpretation of the Ming dynasty furniture style.[3]
Shang Xia opened its first store outside of China, in Paris, in 2013.[4]
In December 2020, Exor invested around 80ドル million in Shang Xia,[5] and in 2021, Exor became the majority owner.[6] In the same year, Yang Li was appointed its fashion creative director.[7] Shang Xia presented its first collection at the 2021 Paris Fashion Week.[2] In 2022, Sophia Wu, who was Shang Xia's chief operating officer, was promoted to CEO.[8]
Etymology
[edit ]Shang Xia (Chinese: 上下) means 'up and down' in Chinese.[3]
