Hi Mina,

Our Pear Garden design comes from a piece of fabric that was the skirt of a male costume from a Chinese opera, most likely late 19th century. The symbols were on the swatch we used to create this design.
I hope you enjoy your new journal!

All the best,
Ella @ Paperblanks

Do they refer to Chinese charm cords?
Any insights would be really appreciated as I recently got one.
