Whispers of wonder.Each of us has experienced, in our lifetime, a sensation that words cannot grasp. It's when we hold our breath lost in a whirlwind of events, and, all of a sudden, we perceive an inner calm, born from a pure connection with nature. In a park in Seoul, we found ourselves in emotional turmoil about what was happening around us, and suddenly, we remained suspended for a moment.

People of all ages, together with us, were turning their heads up to gaze at the plum blossoms, with their open corolla or with small spherical buds still closed, waiting for them to vibrate in the breeze. In the natural inspiration, the leafy branches laden with blossoms were filling the space creating their own composition, and this guided us in designing the Maehwa collection. Maehwa is the Korean word for "plum blossom".
