Inspired by flowers in my own garden and my love for Peranakan/Straits Chinese designs. Marrying into a family that is 'part' Peranakan has also deepened my obsession with these designs as well as my respect for the artisans of old who took great pride in their work. Mostly delicately ornate, beautifully colour coordinated and floral in design, I just LOVE Peranakan.

LOVE BLOSSOMS - so apt as a presentation box to contain a hong bao gift to a wedding couple or someone special during the upcoming Lunar New Year.
Or, on a timeless or romantic note -- even for a new mother-in-law to present her new daughter-in-law with that traditional piece of jewellery when being served tea during the traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony on their wedding day; sentimentally, the box can then be kept as a wonderful keepsake of that special day.
The gift options are limitless with these boxes.
Size: SMALL - 3-1/2" square.
