   | LEATHER HEALER x FULLCOUNT Dragon & Phoenix Souvenir Jacket & Souvenir Porcelain Plate Set (LH 10th Anniversary Limited Edition) HK$7,380 LEATHER HEALER X FULLCOUNT limited edition souvenir jacket is based on the classic Souvenir Jacket, featuring a 1950s-style shirt collar. Inspired by a 1970s-80s Hong Kong commemorative porcelain plate design, the intricate embroidery is crafted by a traditional Osaka-based factory with nearly 70 years of expertise. The main embroidery, designed by LH’s founder Wayne, extends the “Hong Kong commemorative plate” concept: the top showcases the LEATHER HEALER logo, flanked by redesigned dragons and phoenixes merging Hong Kong and Japanese heritage. Symbolizing harmony and peace, it pairs with the characters “和平” (Peace). Each jacket includes a Hong Kong commemorative porcelain plate, specially made by Yuet Tung China Works—Hong Kong’s last traditional hand-painted porcelain factory established in 1928. The dragon and phoenix pattern on this limited-edition plate features embossed 3D effects and stunning 8% real gold accents on the “LH10th” logo and edges. The back of the plate displays both brands’ logos and the October 2025 commemorative inscription. All jackets come with a wooden box and a numbered certificate. This limited release is capped at 100 pieces, while stocks last. |
