Modern oriental silhouettes and signature capes for the global woman
Founded by Run Run, a former creative director who spent over a decade on beauty and fashion campaigns across Asia, PaoPao began as a personal search for a qipao that fit a modern city life rather than feeling traditional or costume-like. The label reinterprets oriental silhouettes into elegant, versatile pieces — including its signature capes — designed to feel empowering rather than ceremonial. Its name derives from "Qipao," with "Pao" (袍) meaning robe, and carries a personal note: it echoes the founder's own nickname.
