Hello, everyone, I am LA LUCE, a select shop. My owners are a buyer, Shani Wang , and a cobbler,Taiheng Chen. A little earlier, I heard a lot of conversations about making new clothes for me, so I began secretly sketching about how they will customize new clothes for me with pencils on the white paper. Although it is full of abstract strokes, it can also be felt with the rhythm of strokes, which are gentle, quiet, full and substantial, very subtle, not easy to detect, but very assured and very persistent.

Shanghai’s old foreign-style houses are always easy to leak and moldy. Because of the sun and rain, even the whole street of platanus orientalis also become mottled and fragmented. And now, I want to be beautiful again. Over the years, I have provided others with many beautiful new clothes, and it’s time for me to change new clothes.

Between narrow and long shops, it is the street inertia of old foreign-style house in Shanghai, and I am no exception. My owner and designer followed the design in the street, they lengthen the space by the street scene, co-existing with scattered western-style buildings and elegant platanus orientalis. There is an ancient well in the courtyard, where they put green plants that have rooted in the land, sharing the space with me. The paint of this courtyard is also specially selected, which is sun-resistant, but also water-proof, coated with three layers, and much stronger as expected. The palm catels in the courtyard store many site memories, also sore sunlight, rain, dew in the morning, the noise of pedestrians floating, and small beetles that occasionally fly to stay for a while. Here with me, you have leisure enough to feel your clothes. If you are tired of work or have no mood, you can come to me, chat with my owner Shani  in the faint light of the early sun, listen to music, choose one or two favorite clothes, clean up my mood and set out again.

Under the platanus orientalis, because of the charm, I can feel the last bloom of every branch and leaf of the platanus orientalis in winter, and see a large area of light moving. At the moment, they swing with the bright or dark shadow, sunny or cloudy, full of changes. The beautiful shadow is the most secret projection of my heart. The light and shadow under the platanus orientalis must like me, and try to get close to me. Even if there is no wind, I can see that the light gradually moves to me, and even breaks into my heart.
