Seller's description

You will get the sweetest frame that will feature two maps of your choice. Tiny brass hearts will indicate the cities and a red string will connect the two. The red string represents the red string of fate. According to Asian myth, two people connected by the red thread are destined to always find each other, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate. A whimsical plastic paper airplane completes this one of a kind collage art.


At the time of purchase please add a note of which two cities you would like and which corresponding initials you would like for each one.

Frame measures only 2.3 x 3.3 inches

THIS IS THE CUTEST GIFT FOR MY BOYFRIEND. We are long distance and we love the red string theory. I bought it for his birthday, and he loved it. This is beautiful, thank you.
