SET SAIL FROM CANTON

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the city Guangzhou, also known as Canton, was the beating heart of the Maritime Silk Road.

Throughout history, the Cantonese people have been defined by their entrepreneurial spirit. Cantonese merchants were resilient, quick to identify opportunities and fearless in navigating risks.

Optimism is deeply rooted in Cantonese culture, Qilin—a mythical creature—has long been cherished as a symbol of good fortune and success. Often seen in festivals, temple fairs, and artistic expressions, it represents the enduring hope for happiness and prosperity of the Cantonese folk.

SUSSILAND’s Odyssey D collection draws on the strength of the Cantonese culture. It celebrates this spirit of entrepreneurship and optimism that continues to inspire us today.
