Who on earth invented this treasure trove of little stores that craft lovers can totally shop at all day?
01 A small store hidden in a neighborhood building
This healing craft store, called SENS, has been open for a few years and is hidden in the OCT neighborhood. Standing on the first floor and seeing the cute and adorable window displays and window sills filled to the brim, you suddenly feel the joy of discovering a treasure!
02 Handicrafts Collection Store and Exhibition
It is both a collection store and an exhibition space, with more than 300 illustrators and craftsmen's works from all over the world, as well as vintage items sourced by the manager, and is filled with the traces of the past, with a variety of styles and a cozy atmosphere.
03 Every object is full of stories.
Probably because they are handmade, each item exudes a sparkle that makes you want to find out the story behind it.
If you have enough time, you may want to talk to the store staff about illustrations, wood carvings, felt dolls, fridge stickers, accessories, canvas bags, hats ...... The store also organizes authors' exhibitions and flash mobs 🖼️, which are usually 🆓 to enter and watch.
04 Tenderness and strength are everywhere.
Push open the warm wooden door again, and read again the words on the front of the store - the place is small, but the balloon is trying to fly high. Whether it's a heartfelt message or a creative encouragement, it touches my heartstrings.
Listen to the store's sister said, before the OCT Creative Culture Park also has SENS, and later closed, only retained here, not far from the road to walk a while to the usual over to see the exhibition can be by the way to the store to stroll.
In this fast-paced city of Shenzhen, I hope this kind of healing store will keep on opening!
