Can I wear Hanfu if I'm not East Asian/Chinese?

Yes! But, as long as you wear it properly, respectfully, and in a non-sexual way. Wear it for the right occasions and not as a costume. It's a nuanced question, as is all questions regarding wearing of cultural clothing. You can find information on the history behind these pieces here.

 

Please understand that the viewpoints of Nüwa Hanfu does NOT represent the viewpoints of all Chinese people (of mainland Chinese and Chinese-Americans). If you don't feel comfortable with wearing a full hanfu set, maybe start with traditional style jewelry or HanYuanSu 汉元素 which is a modernized version of hanfu clothing meant for everyone to enjoy!

Product Questions

______

​

How do I wash my hanfu?

Please hand wash carefully as to not ruin the embroidery, jewels, or buttons. Please air dry the clothes on a hanger. Hand washing and air drying also extends the life of your hanfu. For ironing, please use lowest heat setting or steam out the wrinkles.

​

How do I wash my hair accessories and/or my bags?

If you would like to wash hair accessories, please use an antibacterial wet wipe to gently wipe it down. Please avoid harsh chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. For leather bags, follow the same steps as washing hair accessories. For cloth bags, please spot clean with soap, water, and a small towel. Do not use bleach. 

​

How do I know my correct sizing?

Please refer to the sizing charts included in product photos and measure yourself accordingly. Asian sizes are known to be smaller than American sizes so please be careful! If you receive the hanfu and it does not fit and you would like to return it, please email with the subject line "Incorrect Size for Order #__" and your order number and receipt. We will help with return and refund or replacement. Customers are responsible for the shipping fee from your residence to our warehouse.
