Cute Territory Story

Today’s world can be fast paced.  Always on-the-go!  Sometimes we find that our daily lives can be challenging with the rush of the hustle and bustle, and we tend to forget what’s most important to us.  We need little reminders that bring joy, meaning and peace to each day.  Maybe we can go into a place to find quiet moments – a sanctuary.

With this in mind, I appreciate that my family including my pets, and I, have a happy, loving, safe place to live in – a space which is filled with cute creatures and lots of love. That’s our space – our very own “special, peaceful territory.”

My pets inspired me to create Cute Territory.  They have always been there with me while I have worked in my atelier in Studio City, California.  Their presence was very important to me.  I often heard my customers comment on how sweet and cute they were while they sat next to me.  Their “cuteness” inspired me and I began creating tiny and cute items to add “lightness” and “cuteness” in our lives.

And so, Cute Territory was born.  It had been on my mind everyday for a long time.  It took quite a while for me to handcraft and put all the little charms together – from finding the highest quality diamonds to designing and choosing colors and metals…

All my cute and  loving pets helped me to achieve my dream.  Each and every one of them has been an inspiration and somehow involved.  It has been a long process and it’s finally here.

And now, I want to share my cute creations with all of you, simply from my hands to yours.

I welcome you to my Cute Territory!
