Qiao is on Etsy!
Olá Todos,
Como estão?
Eu sei que vocês estão a pensar onde é que a Qiao foi? Talvez algums já saibam o que aconteceu sobre a minha loja no Porto. Sim, já fechou, desde início deste março. Mas eu não enviei esta má notícia para vocês, porque fiquei desapontada e triste. A loja é muito mais complicada do que eu imaginava. Depois de um ano e meio, decidi deixar a loja.
Mas agora, a Qiao está aqui apresentar a loja online no Etsy! http://www.etsy.com/shop/QIAO?ref=si_shop. Cada peça está bem exposta nas fotos, os materiais e tamanhos estão bem indicados e descritos e as peças são directamente enviadas da China. A maior vantagem é que o preço das peças é relativamente mais baixo, porque o preço de manter uma loja online é menor.
A partir de agora, a "CHINA QIAO" passa a chamar-se "QIAO", no entanto o email, blog e facebook permanecerem os mesmos. Se tiverem algumas perguntas por favor contactem-me : )
Bem vindos à "QIAO" no Etsy!

Hello everyone,
How are you?
I know everyone must be wondering where Qiao is these days...Maybe some of you have alraedy known what happened to my shop in Porto. Yes, it´s closed since the beginning of March. I didn´t make any offical announment beacause I was disappointed and sad. Running a shop was far more complicated than what I imagined before, so I decided to close the shop after a year and a half.
But now, Qiao is back with her online shop on Etsy! http://www.etsy.com/shop/QIAO?ref=si_shop. Each piece is perfectly exhibited by photos, the materials and sizes are well indicated and described, and the pieces are directly sent from China. And the biggest advantage is that, the pirces are relatively lower than the prices from the shop before, because a online shop cost less.
From now on, ´CHINA QIAO´ is renamed ´QIAO´, though the email, blog and facebook continue the same. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me : )
Welcome to "Qiao" on Etsy!

Exposição Arte Chinesa de Papel Recortado
O Papel recortado (JianZhi) é uma das formas de artesanato chinesas mais tradicionais, que surgiu e tem acompanhado a longa história do papel. Esta arte é realizada maioritariamente pelas mulheres, que utilizam utensílios simples como tesouras e estiletes para tornar simples papéis em imagens vivas. Os seus trabalhos geralmente retratam temas da vida das pessoas. A cor vermelha forte do papel é escolhida para transmitir um ambiente de felicidade. Por isso esta arte é frequentemente apresentada em cerimónias de casamentos e festivais na China.

Papercut (JianZhi) is a very distinctive visual art of the traditional Chinese handicrafts, which has been making its way along the route of the long history of paper.Most of the papercut artists are women. The themes of their works usually include everything in people's daily life. Familiarity makes them understand the real spirit of the art. The main cutting tools are simple: paper and scissors or an engraving knife. Once they are owned by a master of papercut, they will become so supernatural that the papercuts beyond imagination flow out of his/her hands.No doubt that arts come from life and serve life. The bright color of red papercuts provides a strong foil to set off a merry atmosphere. So they are often found in wedding ceremonies or festivals in China. And people like to decorate their windows and doors with them too.
Exposição Local: China Qiao (rua do rosário 284, porto)
Data de Inauguração: 5 Junho 2010

A colecção `VERÃO 2010´ já chegou
Finally the new collection arrived. It has been a long time waiting, due to some transportation problems. Every time it´s a long journey for the clothes to travel, from China to Portugal, more than 10 thousand kilometers I think. Every time the waiting is a torture, não consigo de ter paciência. You cannot imagine how excited I am when the goods arrived every time, I just feel like a kid who has just got all the Christmas gifs, and cannot help opening everything immediately. The collection of this season is not disappointing at all, actually it is AMAZING! Eu adoro, adoro, adoro. I took this picture in the shop last evening to make the poster. The nice fabric and the perfect cut made me completely in love with this QiPao. Today a nice lady came and took this piece immediately, and suddenly I was feeling a bit sad, and I felt like that I´ve just given one of my biggest treasures away. For me, this is more than just a piece of common clothes. For me, this is more a piece of art.
