The Shambhala Festival. It's an event held every February for hippies from all over the world. When I came to this place, I was moved by the pleasant feeling in the air. Just walking by, there were musicians playing their instruments or singing freely. Three or five friends sitting under the grass tree chat, next to the stream and the mountains, people feel that it is not real in Xanadu!
This ten-day music festival will bring together tens of thousands of hippies from more than 50 countries around the world to express their love for peace and freedom through music, dance, meditation and yoga.

I remember once ten years ago, everyone sat on the ground, it was the first time to accept nature music, the first time to hear live reggae, the first time to see everyone dressed like that but they are very good-looking, from that time on, I firmly decided to make my own idea of sustainable wear, indeed, a dress from 20 years ago still makes everyone full of anticipation and curiosity. This is a thing full of surprises and moving things.

"Join them." As I stood outside the drum circle taking pictures, a voice kept pulling me forward. The little girl on the left played the drum with me, the man on the right covered his face and cried and laughed, he said he remembered a friend, the grandfather in front taught me a new way to play the drum, and the girl behind smiled at me.

A lot of hippies, they care about the problems of the world, they love the world, despite the unruly image. They are free souls, they care about the environment, they care about animals, they care about plants, they care about rivers, they care about the natural environment, they care about children, they care about people, they care about the earth, they are far away from the world, like citizens of the earth, not a country, they are like rebuilding a home, a family of the earth, no nationality and no identity.

They use art to express their will, in music, in painting, even in their own way of life. From initial rebellion to peaceful actions, hippies express their love for the world in a variety of ways.

So I began to travel around the world, backpack alone, began to walk on the road, through continuous thinking and local investigation to find a lot of interesting craftsmen, and so many people began to slowly recognize and accept love, practice slow fashion and sustainable development.

More and more people and teams join this industry, and more and more because they are proud and happy to do this thing, I hope everyone can bring friends good works and new ideas, sustainable fashion, we have been on the road.
