DOUBLE HAPPINESS

The literal meaning of喜 (Happiness) is joy, while 囍 (double happiness) are twin Chinese characters of joy, a symbol of celebrations of marriage.  The double happiness motif often appears on decorative items associated with weddings. Traditionally, paper cuts or calligraphy are often posted on walls, doors and windows when a wedding celebration takes place. The origins of this practice can be traced back to the Song dynasty (960 – 1279AD). The double happiness characters reminds people of their most primal needs, the happiness of a couple who share a spiritual and physical urge to unite together as one.

The Double Happiness collection comes down to one simple meaning: to live a simple happy life yet believing life could be happier, more prosperous, healthier and wealthier every day. For modern people, “double happiness” could also be translated into “happy family life, successful career”.
