6. Snow Blossom - Inspired
• Blossom - written by Wang
Anshi 1021 1086
• In the wintery cold, the
blossoms are in full bloom. I
thought it snowed yet by the
smell of subtle fragrance that I
realise it's the petals of blossom
just like snowflakes.

Natalie is keen in Chinese calligraphy which reflects in her logo designs and branding. The
above symbols show Silk and Bamboo. You can guess which is silk and which is bamboo by
the way they resemble.

9. Natalie has been travelling far and wide in China to search for the quality
manufacturers. She was on the train to visit manufacturers (photo)

through the spines. Those roads were in the complete darkness, no lights,
not even a human being alive there.
