Overtones: A Music Dream Stitched by Hand"
Discovering the Gap: The Silence Between the Strings
In the winter of 2019, at a violin recital, I noticed a musician repeatedly smoothing the frayed edges of her worn-out music folder, its leather peeling, her sheets nearly spilling out. After the performance, I asked why she didn’t replace it. She smiled bitterly, "Everything out there is cold, mass-produced—nothing with soul." That moment, it struck me: musicians’ tools carried unspoken emotional needs.
Back home, I scoured online shops, only to find music-themed leather goods that were either cheaply made or devoid of artistry. As someone who’d played the violin for a decade, I knew instruments, sheet music, and stage lights deserved vessels as poetic as the art itself.
Creating Products: Making Leather Sing
I bought secondhand leather scraps and basic tools. My first music folder emerged with crooked stitching like off-key notes—but inside, I heat-embossed the opening bars of Butterfly Lovers, the piece my brother played when he got into music school.
Gradually, the collection grew:
"Harmony Cardholder": Card slots proportioned like piano keys (with a playful violin variant).
"Maestro’s Scratchpad": A hand-carved violin on the cover, paired with refillable pages.
"Violin Pendant": Meticulously stitched in genuine leather, complete with a tiny scroll and bow.
Every design hid a musician’s secret—zipper pulls shaped like bows, staff-patterned linings. We insisted on Italian vegetable-tanned leather, hand-dyed so every crease aged like the varnish of a well-loved instrument.
Team Story: An Imperfect Concerto
We were "a crew chosen by music":
-
My brother (Product Advisor), video-calling at midnight: "Viola folders need 3cm more width! You amateurs don’t get sheet music’s breathing room."
-
A-Sen (Designer/College Roommate), whose Shostakovich-inspired leather carving was mistaken for "abstract aliens"—we laughed through seven redesigns.
-
Lulu (Customer Service), who once sent birthday discounts in Morse code, crashing the system—now our running joke about "clumsy romance."
The most memorable night? A storm cut power mid-deadline. We stitched by rosin-candlelight, wax droplets sealing into "Amber Soundhole" accents—later a limited edition.
Client Stories: The Echo After the Rest
A Shanghai cello teacher mailed us her students’ Handwritten Leather Care Guide with a block of rosin. A Beijing rocker found Hotel California lyrics foil-stamped inside his custom cardholder and posted, "This took me back to basement gigs."
But it was Mr. Zhou from Wuhan who undid me. He’d ordered a notebook embroidered with Happy Birthday’s melody, then went silent. Two weeks later, a midnight message: "My father, a composer, passed last year during the pandemic. This was the first tune he taught me. Now it lives in leather’s warmth."
My Pride: The Non-Standard Note
We’ve refused factory automation. When a bulk buyer demanded a 30% discount, my brother slapped down cost sheets: "Switch to synthetic leather? Might as well use auto-tune."
Last year, a luthier from the Vienna Philharmonic emailed about our violin tool roll: "Your stitching feels like restoring a Stradivari." That’s the pride—while the world chases disposable B-flats, we hold the handmade A-note, waiting for those who hear it.
⭐We donate 15% of annual profits to fund music programs for rural children—because even barren soil deserves a chance to grow melodies.❤
If music moves your soul—or if you're searching for a gift that speaks of passion, melody, and growth—we'd love to craft something uniquely yours.
Perhaps a custom piece to commemorate your love, a milestone, or a shared harmony. Every stitch will carry our sincerity, dedication, and relentless attention to detail.
