Red Handicrafts is located at Jonker Street and is own by a young man who loves the chinese culture espcially the chinese paper cutting craft. His produce delicate design of animals, people, flowers, motives, wordings etc. Long ago, the chinese like to put up these paper cutting on the door, especially those that feature the goddess. One of the popular cutting that is still in use today is the Chinese word "Xi" (happiness). You can see it easily in any chinese wedding. It is a symbol of happiness and good future.
Apart from selling paper cut out, he also have hand made greeting cards, bookmarks and hand painted T-shirts. Personally i really admire his passion. As a young person, he probably should be doing what everyone else is doing, earning a living and climbing the corporate ladder, but yet he decided to pursue his passion in the paper art. I always wonder how much he actually make each month.
For all you art lovers, you will definately fall in love with this place :)
