Why not send the star inside you into the future?
"Wish Upon a Star" project begins!
When you slice the fruit, a star shape appears.
AMONG's textile " Starfruit " was born from this sense of surprise and humor.
Even though it has been turned into a bag, it retains its brightness and liveliness and will be a useful daily companion.
A portion of the sales price of canvas items made with the "Starfruit" pattern will be donated to Earth Company, a general incorporated association that supports social entrepreneurs and provides training to companies and schools in the Asia-Pacific region. We decided to start a project to donate to "
The moment I saw the finished "Starfruit_Star" canvas fabric, I thought, "Ah, this is it!" and that's when the "Wish Upon a Star" project came about.
It would be fun if something you chose because you like it, it's fun, or it's your favorite could lead to support . Star textiles seem like they can help deliver everyone's wishes, so it's perfect!
We wanted to cherish the fun, effortless, yet reachable steps that are characteristic of AMONG.
When I contacted Ako and said, "Ako, I want to do this!" I was actually very excited.
What I can do is a very small thing. I have no experience or knowledge in supporting such projects.
But it's okay , everything starts with something small! Toshopi (my husband) and I encouraged each other to overcome our nervousness as we made our preparations.
Ako from Earth Company immediately welcomed me warmly and connected me with Misa and Mai, the people in charge, and we began communicating through group messaging.
The group's name is "Amarspee" lol!! Named by Ako-san. It's a mix of a lot of things lol!!
Through this project, I would like to learn about situations like this in the world and people who are doing these kinds of activities, along with hope for the future. I would be happy to work together with all the people I have met through AMONG to do what we can to work towards a better future.
I believe that this will make our everyday lives even more colorful and wonderful.
When you purchase an item with a donation, we will give you a small message card. We hope that we can all work together to grow this project with inspiration like stars and kindness like fruits.
Let's move forward together! (Kurisawa)
