Born Different is a collection that honours difference — not as a flaw, but as beauty. Each design in this series speaks to a lived experience that’s often misunderstood or unseen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- You move through life a little more gently than most — not because you’re fragile, but because you feel everything. You’ve learned to be careful. You’ve learned that not everyone sees softness as strength. But still, you show up. Still, you shine. This piece is for the quiet strength in you — the part that’s delicate but unbreakable. A soft shimmer for a brave soul. ---------------------------------------------------------- The name “Butterfly Child” is inspired by a rare condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa — where even a gentle touch can wound the skin. In China, children living with this condition are lovingly called “butterfly babies”, because their skin is as delicate as wings, yet they live with incredible strength. If you ever meet someone like this, don’t look away. A kind word, a moment of softness — might be more powerful than you know.
