A soft square shoulder bag made from richly textured Liezhi crack-weave fabric. Light, tactile, and easy to carry, it is designed for everyday essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, or a small notebook.

Each piece has its own woven rhythm, color variation, and quiet handmade irregularity. The bag shown in the product photos is the exact one you will receive.

Notes
Body size only. Strap length is not included in the size measurement.
Natural fiber ends, visible threads, uneven woven textures, and subtle color variations are part of the handmade character, not defects.

Artisan & Textile Lineage

Made in collaboration with a Dai textile artisan from Mangshi, Dehong, Yunnan, this piece reflects a slower way of working with fabric — one guided by touch, memory, and careful observation.

Liezhi crack-weave fabric is known for its irregular surface, layered colors, and natural broken-line texture. Each section of cloth carries a different visual rhythm, so every cut becomes a small composition.

For this square shoulder bag, the artisan works with the fabric’s color placement and woven density to create a balanced everyday form. The result is a one-of-a-kind textile bag that feels practical, tactile, and quietly expressive.

Crafting Hours: Approx. 8–12 Hours

1. Textile Selection — 30 minutes
Each piece begins with selecting a section of Liezhi crack-weave fabric with balanced color, texture, and woven density.

2. Composition & Cutting — 45 minutes
Because every part of the fabric is different, the artisan studies the color placement and crack-like texture before cutting the final panels.

3. Bag Shaping & Structure — 2–3 hours
The selected textile is shaped into a soft square shoulder bag, with attention to proportion, fabric direction, and how the woven surface sits across the body.

4. Sewing & Reinforcement — 2–3 hours
The textile panels are sewn into shape, with reinforced seams and careful alignment to preserve the woven surface.

5. Strap & Edge Finishing — 1.5–2 hours
The shoulder strap, edge details, and handmade textile accents are finished carefully to support both function and visual balance.

6. Final Inspection — 30 minutes
Each piece is checked for shape, texture, stitching, strap stability, and overall visual balance before being photographed individually.

Material

Liezhi crack-weave textile

The fabric has a raised, tactile surface with visible woven texture and natural variation. Color placement, stripe pattern, surface density, and small fiber details may vary throughout the piece.

Soft textile strap, reinforced edge finishing, and mixed textile fibers are used to complete the bag structure.

These variations are part of the textile’s handmade character and make each bag unique.

Care Instructions

Spot clean when possible. If cleaning is needed, gently clean the surface with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent.

Avoid frequent washing, soaking, bleach, harsh detergents, rough scrubbing, or wringing. Let air dry naturally in the shade and keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.

Machine washing is not recommended. To preserve the raised texture, soft structure, strap stability, and natural fibers, handle with care and avoid pulling visible threads.

Keep away from sharp objects, heavy moisture, and overloading with heavy items.

At Planet Fix Project, we gather objects that carry more than function — pieces shaped by material, memory, and the hands that make them.

We work with reclaimed textiles, natural materials, and small-batch craft traditions to extend the life of materials and support slower forms of making.

Each piece is an invitation to live with care: for the home, for the body, for the maker, and for the earth.

What is Liezhi Weave?

Liezhi Weave, or 裂织, is a Chinese rewoven textile craft that transforms reclaimed fabric into new handwoven cloth. Instead of treating old or leftover textiles as waste, the fabric is cut or torn into narrow strips, then woven again to create a new material with rich texture, natural color variation, and a deeply tactile surface.

Unlike ordinary printed or machine-made fabric, every piece of Liezhi Fabric carries the marks of its original materials. Slight differences in thickness, tone, and weave are not flaws — they are part of the beauty of the craft. Each piece reflects a slower way of making, where discarded fabric is given a second life through handweaving.

Liezhi Weave does not come from luxury or court tradition. It is rooted in everyday Chinese folk wisdom: reuse what already exists, waste as little as possible, and turn humble materials into something meaningful again. Similar in spirit to Japanese Sakiori, Liezhi Weave belongs to its own Chinese textile context and expresses a quiet, sustainable approach to craft.

At Planet Fix Project, we use Liezhi Weave to celebrate reclaimed materials, Chinese folk textile heritage, and the beauty of imperfect, handwoven surfaces.

How can I tell if Liezhi Fabric is high quality?

High-quality Liezhi Fabric is tightly woven, with a rich three-dimensional texture, natural woven lines, a substantial hand feel, and clean, firmly finished edges.

Lower-quality versions are often loosely woven, thin, or slightly translucent, with flatter texture, messy surface patterns, rough frayed edges, and a higher chance of deformation or damage over time.

Can I machine wash Liezhi Fabric?

Machine washing is not recommended. The rewoven structure may be affected by strong spinning, friction, or heat. For best results, gently spot clean or hand wash with cold water only when necessary.

Is Liezhi Fabric a defected or damaged fabric?

No. Liezhi Fabric is not damaged fabric. The irregular raised texture is intentionally created through the rewoven structure. What may look like “cracks” are actually woven layers formed by reclaimed textile strips.

What affects the price of Liezhi products?

The price of Liezhi products is mainly affected by size, fabric coverage, texture, color composition, and craftsmanship.

Larger products or pieces with wider Liezhi Fabric coverage require more material and more handwork. Since each piece is woven from reclaimed textile strips, the texture, color layering, and visual balance cannot be exactly repeated. A more refined composition with richer texture and better color harmony usually requires more careful material selection and craftsmanship.

How do I clean and care for Liezhi Fabric?

Liezhi Fabric has a special rewoven structure, so frequent washing is not recommended.

For daily care, gently remove dust or spot clean when needed. If washing is necessary, hand wash only with cold water. Avoid hot water, machine washing, hard scrubbing, long soaking, bleach, high-temperature drying, and direct sunlight. Proper care helps preserve the texture, shape, and lifespan of the fabric.

Why is each Liezhi piece one-of-a-kind?

Each Liezhi piece is woven from reclaimed textile strips with different colors, thicknesses, and textures. During weaving, these materials naturally create irregular patterns, raised texture, and subtle color variations.

Because the original fabric strips are different every time, no two Liezhi pieces can ever be exactly the same.

Is the texture printed on the surface?

No. The texture of Liezhi Fabric is not printed.

Its raised, irregular surface is created through the rewoven textile structure itself. The texture is built into the fabric, so it will not peel off like a surface print. Natural color variation may soften over time with use, but the woven texture is part of the fabric itself.

Is Liezhi Fabric suitable for daily use?

Yes, Liezhi Fabric can be used in daily life, especially for decorative home pieces such as cushion covers, table runners, placemats, coasters, and accent textiles. However, because of its special rewoven structure, it should be treated with more care than ordinary machine-made fabric.

Will the color or texture be exactly the same as the photos?

No two Liezhi pieces are exactly the same. The color, texture, and woven lines may vary slightly from the product photos because each piece is made from different reclaimed textile strips. These variations are not defects — they are part of the uniqueness of Liezhi Fabric.

Does Liezhi Fabric easily snag or pull?

Because Liezhi Fabric has a raised woven texture, sharp objects, jewelry, pet claws, or rough surfaces may catch on the fabric. We recommend keeping it away from anything that may hook or pull the threads.

Will Liezhi Fabric shed or fray?

A small amount of loose fiber or tiny threads may appear at first, especially around textured areas. This is normal for a rewoven textile. High-quality Liezhi products are finished with firm edges to reduce fraying and help the fabric keep its shape over time.

Is Liezhi Fabric waterproof?

No. Liezhi Fabric is not waterproof. It is a textile material and should be kept away from heavy moisture, long soaking, or humid storage. If it gets slightly wet, gently blot the area with a clean towel and let it air dry naturally.

Will Liezhi Fabric become softer over time?

Yes, with gentle use, Liezhi Fabric may become slightly softer while still keeping its textured character. Natural color variation may also become more mellow over time, giving the piece a lived-in, organic beauty.
