HOW IT STARTED
Our brand is inspired by a growing concern: the increase in cultural and historical ignorance within our contemporary society. This trend is leading to awidening gap between generations and declining awareness of our rich cultural history. These issues inspired us to launch an initiative focused on rediscovering and celebrating our cultural heritage.
Our aim is to bridge the gap between past and present, and create a platform on which the stories and wisdom of the past can resonate again in the present. We want to inspire people of all ages to rediscover and appreciate the richness and diversity of our common history.
Our brand is not only a response to the loss of historical awareness, but also an attempt to strengthen the bonds between generations through shared knowledge and experiences. It is an invitation to everyone to participate in an immersive journey through time that both enriches and connects. We hope this initiative will have a lasting impact and motivate people to recognise and embrace the value of our shared past, laying a foundation for a richer, more connected future.
