Lucky Me: How the LUCKY Scarves Were Born
Early this year, I made the decision to move to Paris, the city that has captured my imagination since I was a child. This lifelong dream fills me with excitement, but I have also been feeling a considerable amount of internal pressure to make sure that this entire experience turns out perfectly. In recognizing that nothing in life is truly perfect, I have been actively trying to allow the experience to unfold naturally and manifest in the way it is "supposed to be," without my constant need to control every single moment. To help distract from my anxiety and to cultivate a sense of calm, I found myself reflecting on some of my long-held superstitions, which I regard as completely lighthearted yet oddly comforting, as they seem to have brought me good luck over the years. For instance, I always find myself glancing at the clock when it shows 11:11, which then grants me the opportunity to make a wish. I often come across pennies that are heads up, and I have developed a habit of placing them in my left shoe or left pocket (though I have no idea how that part of the ritual began, I've been doing it for as long as I can remember).
With the move to Paris on the horizon, I wanted to create a special object that I could take with me to symbolize my aspirations and bring me good fortune. This desire inspired me to consolidate all of my lucky charms into a cohesive pattern. This year has also been a time of change for me, as I decided to leave my job as a counselor to fully pursue a career in graphic design, specifically focusing on surface pattern design. With patterns prominently on my mind, I sought to create a high-quality object that encapsulated my journey. While researching potential manufacturers, I discovered a company renowned for producing beautifully crafted silk scarves from various artists' designs. From that point onward, I dedicated months to perfecting my drawings, ensuring they captured the emotions and intentions I wanted to carry with me as part of my good luck charm. Overwhelmed with pride for the final result, I ultimately decided to launch a small collection of "Lucky Charm" silk scarves. These scarves come in four unique patterns and four versatile sizes, and they are simply gorgeous. I have already felt the comfort and good fortune that these scarves have brought me, and it is my greatest wish that they do the same for you.
