How it all started

Our brand’s journey began with a single image—an AI-generated piece of art that would become the heart and soul of everything we wanted to express. This image was deeply inspired by the 1920s Shanghai posters of smoking girls, capturing the allure, elegance, and mystique of that iconic era. The posters from that time depicted women with a captivating blend of modernity and tradition, exuding confidence and grace, and we wanted to recreate that same timeless beauty in a contemporary form.

The image features a stylized, serene face with closed eyes, reminiscent of the calm yet powerful expressions seen in those vintage posters. Her sleek, jet-black hair frames her face perfectly, contrasting against a vibrant red geometric background that evokes the bold and adventurous spirit of 1920s Shanghai. The lips, painted in a deep, alluring red, are accentuated by a thin black line—a nod to the enigmatic allure of the women who graced the posters of that time. The intricate patterns on her clothing and the background merge traditional aesthetics with modern design, creating a piece that is both nostalgic and forward-looking.

This image wasn’t just a creation; it was a tribute to the past, a reimagining of the elegance and style that defined an era. We were so captivated by this image that we decided to print it onto a bag—something that felt personal, something that we could carry with us as a symbol of our vision.

As we began to use the bag in our daily lives, something unexpected happened. People began to notice. They would stop us on the streets, in cafes, and even in grocery stores, asking where we had gotten such a unique and striking bag. The admiration and curiosity of strangers sparked an idea within us. We realized that this image, this bag, was more than just an accessory; it was the beginning of something much larger.

The idea of creating a lifestyle brand was born. We saw an opportunity to bring this sense of artistry and individuality to others, to create products that people could carry with them, just as we had done. We envisioned a brand that would offer not just items, but pieces of art that people could incorporate into their daily lives—each one telling a story, each one starting a conversation.

From that single image printed on a bag, our brand grew into a collection of lifestyle products that are as unique as the people who use them. Every product we create is designed with the same passion and creativity that went into that first image, with the goal of blending the boundaries between art and everyday life.

And so, what began as a simple AI-generated image has evolved into a brand that stands for creativity, individuality, and the fusion of the modern and the timeless. It’s a journey we’re excited to be on, and one that we’re thrilled to share with the world.
