About Swatow Embroidery: Swatow embroidery is one of the three major types of Chinese embroidery. It originated in Shantou, Guangdong Province, China. Originally, the embroidery industry flourished in Shantou, but it is said that a unique embroidery culture was born around the 18th century when Christian missionaries introduced European lace and embroidery techniques. Swatow embroidery, which is finished by artisans stitch by stitch, is truly the pinnacle of hand-embroidered crafts. The handkerchiefs, which are finished without regard to the time and effort required, are truly works of art. Nowadays, it is difficult to pass on the Swatow techniques, making it a valuable item.
