The Gift That Starts a Conversation
Most gifts don't have a story.
You give them, they say thank you, that's it. The object sits somewhere and the exchange is over.
A scarf made from a tea bag painting is different. It comes with something to say. People ask about it. The person wearing it gets to explain how it was made, who made it, what it started as.
That's the gift inside the gift. Not just an object but a reason to talk.
I've had customers tell me that more people ask about their Teascarf Brooklyn scarf than anything else they wear. That they look forward to the question now.
Someone will ask.
