Trouble is a friend

It has been a little trouble in our team member. One member in particular. We parted in good term and the rest of us decided it's time for a change.

Sometimes trouble find you just for you to wake up and be aware of what's going on. Sometimes trouble find you to say " fight and you will become a better person"

Change is unavoidable, is not easy but change is beautiful. It teaches us to never take anything for granted and it tells us to always fight and strive to be better.

With the season's change in the air, we are changing along. We'd love to start fresh again.

With this idea in mind, we will continue with our quality and unique handmade design. We will discontinue many old designs. We will be more organize in sizes. We want to become a "prete-a-porter" store for woman and men in all sizes. Moreover, we will start our membership card system for all our lovely long time customer.

Sounded exciting already eh??

Please stay tune cos this is to be continue...

PS. we cocoricooo team would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our long time supportive customers. Without you all, it will be impossible for us. Please enjoy a 5 days Free shipping sale in our store until Sunday Oct' 18 '09. Thank you thank you thank you.

Wabi-sabi

If you want to give a Japanese person a hard time, ask him what "Wabi-sabi" mean.

"Perfect blue sky...not wabisabi. Blue sky with white cloud...yes wabisabi" One of my friend try to give example.

"Oh...very difficult...old temple with broken roof...I don't know how to explain...very difficult" another Japanese fail to try.

"...It's like Sakura flower that fall too soon"

" Oh...is it like sad, romantic kind of feeling?" I ask.

" No..no...ummm...how can I say?"

With many questioning, turn out...I never really get a clear answer. But sometimes, that is the beauty of it. Like many great songs, that doesn't make full sense. You never know what the song really mean, but you still like it. You like the feeling that come with it.

I like the word "Wabisabi". The sound of it and the unclear meaning I could glasp.

The imperfection in things; object or human.

The beauty that only time can create.

Broken pieces of memory that hold up over time.

Changes and impermanance.

It's wabisabi...and it's life.

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering,

There's a crack, a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in."

(Leonard Cohen)

PS. Dedicated to L R S J A on your Bday :-) xxx

Take a chance

The starting of new year sometimes make you look back...Do a little reflection.

And today "Chances and choices" come to my thought...

Chances happen to you...and you are the one making choices along these chances. Be it decision or no decision.

You have to look for sign. The slightest picture that slip out of your subconciousness in that split second...Something you feel and know it in your guts. Listen to it, see it, but don't assume.

You never know if you are making the right choice in your life. Though I believe that making "little right choice" for each moment will lead you to one big "good choice"

And sometime when you really can't deal with making the choice...remember, you can always take a chance...

Room for improvement...

New year is approaching!!!

Time is flying...before we know it, the year is already coming to the end. It also means new year is starting. We have many things planned for our etsy store. 1 big thing is that we will start making 1 design in different sizes S-M, M-L and XL. We will also be using more variety of fabric, more natural one. etc...Oh we have so many ideas!

But before we turn our ideas into reality. We would love to hear from our client! We are still very new and we are sure that there are roooms for improvement for us. We would really appreciate a comment.

Coat and jacket season!

It's starting to get cold where we are! A good inspiration for making thicker clothing...

We still work with 100% cotton. Just double it up or use a thicker material.

And we come up with these soft suit.

As usual, with some hand-embroidery detail.

This one is more special cos it is reversible! Plain beige soft cotton with hand-embroidery on the outer layer. Great flower printed fabric on the inner layer.

Also a simple long coat with very thick 2 layers plain black high-twisted cotton.Simple hoodie coat that will keep you warm and it's a simple piece you will always ended up picking it to go with all your outfit!


More to come...
