Sha Chen Department Store - Pa Pa Uncle Metal Pin/Badge/Brooch

Sha Chen Department Store - Pa Pa Uncle Metal Pin * * Dimensions: 32 mm x 59 mm Craftsmanship: Zinc alloy baking varnish - Back in my student days in America, after school each afternoon, I’d wander through every streetwear store in the shopping mall next to the school. It became my alternative elective. During quiet periods at my part-time job at the bank, I’d sneak online to browse the blogs of various brand founders, like a trend-focused tutoring session funded by the boss. The allure of American streetwear culture lies in its constant emphasis on one's own origins, beliefs, language, and love for the neighborhood or even the city. - Whenever one's homeland is at a disadvantage, people first feel lost about their own culture and values, and only then do they begin to particularly emphasize their identity. Sha Chen Department Store, infused with the spirit of American streetwear culture, reinterprets the cartoon character from a 1950s American flour brand advertisement, Choosy the Merry Miller, which was featured in magazines. We hope the enduring impact of this pin can strike a chord. Language is gone, but the sound still echoes. No one can stop time, but we can express our feelings for the past through imagery. I believe that if this power of sound could be visualized, even if Cantonese no longer has the "pa pa" sound of yesteryear, it would be like giving it CPR.
