The Story
2026 marks the Year of the Horse. A minimal, sculptural horse charm was hand-carved in wax and cast in celebration of the Lunar New Year.
The knot charm draws from Maedup, a traditional Korean knotting technique. The original knot was hand-tied by Kara’s niece in Korea, then 3D-scanned and replicated through a mold, preserving the texture and form of the handmade original.
The hinged O-ring can be hung off or looped around a bag strap or keychain.
