Last weekend we visited and one of the shows was titled “seeking chu xin”. So, what’s our chu xin? (Swipe left to see translation for chu xin)
Sōsu has been around for awhile and we’ve made multiple pivots. We started off with necklaces, and we crafted up-cycled jute pouches for our packaging. Later, we took a leap into working with social enterprises which changed the whole dynamics. We had to double up on marketing and sales, but the numbers couldn’t make any sense. We struggled, we pressed on and sadly, we have come to a point where we have to say good-bye for a little while.
But we are not forgetting our initial dreams. We will continue to craft our necklaces from Myanmar in the smallest batches ever. Sōsu will remain as a source of income for the ones who need it. The best way of sustainability is to not be producing for the sake of retail 🌿 The products will come when the artisans need the income, and when they are here, I hope you will still be here with us too!
Do drop us some love when we share the necklaces in the future! 💓
