Every morning recently, I've been buying stone-ground rice noodle rolls for breakfast.
The shop owner has a rather stern appearance,
which makes me a little intimidated by her.
Today, I don't know what gave me the courage 😂
to proactively ask her,
why stone-ground rice noodle rolls are so much more fragrant than regular pork intestine noodles.
Turns out, the owner is only stern on the outside; she's actually very friendly.
She explained that stone-ground rice noodle rolls contain rice,
which gives them a rice fragrance and makes them much more aromatic.

This kind of traditional craftsmanship is becoming increasingly rare,
especially in Hong Kong, where it's truly hard to find.
It's the same with pre-owned handbags.
Many older bags were made using traditional leather-making techniques,
methods that are rarely used by artisans today.
So, when our artisan sees a new bag I've acquired,
they often take it apart to study it 🤣

Beyond the craftsmanship,
classic designs also stand the test of time.
Take the Vintage Celine bag above, for example.
Its monogram pattern design,
remains beautiful even in 2023!

Before each pre-owned handbag is sold, it undergoes a 4-step restoration process by a professional artisan:
1) Cleaning and stain removal
2) Surface scratch repair
3) Hardware re-polishing
4) Application of leather conditioning cream for restored luster
Restoration does not mean erasing all traces of time; the mission is to extend its historical narrative.
