Empowering women to feel confident, sensual, and unapologetically themselves—through fashion that fuses the artistry of Chinese craftsmanship with a modern sensuality that defies convention.
In a fashion world long defined by Western ideals, SAU LEE was created to offer something different: a Global Chinese Fashion Brand that honors heritage while embracing change. Founded in 2014 by Hong Kong designer Cheryl Leung, SAU LEE brings the beauty of Chinese heritage into dialogue with the youthful and playful spirit of the modern woman.
SAU LEE doesn't ask women to choose between tradition and self-expression. It gives her both. While deeply inspired by the symbolism and artistry of Chinese craftsmanship, the brand dares to reinterpret those codes—a naked crystal cheongsam or brocade corsetry embellished with pipa knots—with a touch of rebellion that is always refined. This is modern sensuality that defies convention: the confident sensuality of a woman who embraces her identity and bends the rules with grace.
At its core, SAU LEE is not just about how a woman looks. It’s about how she feels—captivating, cultured, and completely her own. Whether stepping into a gallery opening in Shanghai or a rooftop soirée in New York, she commands attention—not through performance, but presence.
Each piece is designed to embody the dualities that define her: sensual yet sophisticated, grounded in heritage yet fearlessly modern. SAU LEE honors Chinese design traditions—from the mandarin collar to the pipa knot—but pushes boundaries with bold structures, rich textures, and unexpected cut-outs that make every look a statement of self.
She doesn’t conform. She redefines. She doesn’t follow tradition—she wears it her way.
SAU LEE exists to give women the freedom to dress with both reverence and rebellion—to be soft, strong, sensual, and entirely unforgettable.
THE ART OF SILHOUETTE
At SAU LEE, the silhouette is where tradition meets modern sensuality. Draped fabrics flow with quiet confidence, while sculptural necklines and cinched waists nod to the Cheongsam—reimagined through contemporary movement and daring proportions. Each form celebrates the body not just as a canvas, but as a story in motion.
PRINTS & FABRICS WITH MEANING
SAU LEE prints and fabrics are more than decoration—they are a language of emotion and identity. From florals that evoke poetic stillness to modernized Chinese motifs and abstract forms, each pattern carries cultural memory and inner beauty. Through jacquard, lace, or embroidery, every design becomes a tactile expression of meaning—rooted in heritage, yet resonant with the present.
HERITAGE YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL
Craft is the soul of SAU LEE—a heritage transformed, not merely preserved. Pipa knots, mandarin collars, and delicate piping details echo the past, yet speak with today’s boldness. Once ritualistic, these details are reborn through daring, unexpected silhouettes and placements—honoring legacy while expressing modern confidence.
