Large：32-reed density

Why is the 64-Reed Small Bag More Expensive than the 32-Reed Large Bag?

The reed refers to the density of the weaving frame used in traditional Tujia brocade production. A higher reed count means a finer and denser weave, which requires more skill, time, and attention to detail.

Although the small bag is physically smaller, its 64-reed finer weave demands a more delicate and labor-intensive process. In contrast, the 32-reed large bag features a coarser weave with fewer reeds, making it less complex to produce despite its larger size.

Therefore, the higher price of the 64-reed small bag reflects its superior craftsmanship, intricate texture, and the additional effort involved.
