JAPAN PANDA BEAR NECKLACE FOR CHARITY: SOHO HEARTS JEWELRY FOR SENDAI, JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE RECOVERY.
La Carmina and Seba present… a cute panda bear necklace collaboration with Soho Hearts, with proceeds to benefit Japan!
Show your support with the Pray for Japan Panda Bear Necklace. Half of the proceeds will go directly to disaster relief efforts in the Miyagi prefecture in Japan. No middleman taking a cut; the funds go straight to the Sendai government for rebuilding work.
The design is beautiful: a silver metal chain with a panda bear pendant, covered with Swarovski crystals. The red circle on the stomach, also made with Swarovskis, represents the Japan flag.
Dimensions: The twisted rope style chain is 36 inches long (you can adjust the length). The bear is 1.5 inches x 1 inches.
The media has stopped running stories about Japan, but there’s still so much work to do. Questions about the aftermath; concerns about health.
Please don’t forget Japan. Do your best to help. Our charity necklace is available online here, for $99.95 (50% going straight to relief efforts). Soho Hearts ships internationally and accepts many forms of payment.
Thanks to the Soho Hearts team for collaborating with us! The international jewelry brand is known for its cute designs, worn by celebrities like Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne.

Please check out our necklace and consider picking one up (or putting it on your wishlist).
What do you think of the panda bear meets Japan flag design? Have you heard any updates about Japan’s rebuilding? What are your thoughts? Feel free to share in the comments.
PS: This necklace is 100% nonprofit: the cost is to cover manufacture, and the rest goes direct to Japan. Seba and I aren’t making a cent from this; you can ask Soho Hearts on Facebook, Twitter or email to confirm. Thanks.

HONG KONG, CHINA PET STORES: CUTE PERSIAN CATS & DOGS, PANDA BEAR PAJAMAS, WEIRD CHINESE SUPERMARKET FOOD.
Life is nuts lately… so many announcements and travels that even I’m having trouble keeping track! On Monday, I’m releasing a new design collection — very proud of it. Please check back for the announcement.
Tokyo coverage is imminent, but let’s finish up with Hong Kong. Here are some creepy-cute things that caught my eye while strolling in Causeway Bay. (Seba and I spent a great deal of time in this district, since our Roomorama apartment was located here.)
This pet store specializes in cats with pushed-in faces. Inside, there were at least five of them for sale.
Down the road, a different pet shop focused on poodles.
Peanuts appears to be big in Hong Kong. (Remember our foray into the Charlie Brown Cafe?) The Chocoolate clothing store had a Snoopy collaboration.
Scenes from daily life… we spent far too much time at Caffe Habitu, a Western-style cafe with free wireless Internet. The concept store had panda pajamas.
I love stocking up on groceries at Wellcome Supermarket. Lots of bright, cute packaging. But I don’t know about the Beano popsicles…
Thank you, everyone, for the birthday wishes and gifts! Big hugs for Mandi (above), Spike (below left) and Kokoro (below right) for these adorable drawings.
What are your impressions of Hong Kong culture? Aren’t many aspects similar to Japan’s? You can see all my photos and articles in the Hong Kong and Macau category.
