Can you recommend anywhere to buy handy accessories that aren’t based in China or have a English website?
Hi, thanks for the question! (image via)
I have a post here with recommendations for non-taobao hanfu shops. Those shops also carry hanfu accessories. New Hanfu in particular has a decent collection of hanfu accessories, hair ornaments/jewelry, and shoes.
In addition, there’s a relatively new English-language shop called Neo Dynasty that specializes in hanfu accessories, namely jewelry and ornaments. It seems to have just launched and I haven’t seen any reviews yet, but I think it’s worth taking a look.
There are also shops on Etsy that sell hanfu accessories. @inkjadestudio has an Etsy shop here and a webshop here, with lots of hanfu jewelry and hair ornaments. Below - earrings from Inkjadestudio:
@bobabread also has an Etsy shop (Bobabirb) with traditional-inspired accessories. Below - hair ornaments from Bobabirb:
If anyone has more recs, please share. Hope this helps!
Update: The English-language online shop Forbidden Boutique, recommended by Mochi Hanfu, has a great selection of handmade Chinese hanfu accessories, mainly zanhua/floral hairpins (chanhua, ronghua, etc).
