📰 Wittgensteiner Zeitung · July 2023

„Our beloved four-legged friends, always close by“

Wittgensteiner Zeitung (Westfalenpost) · 17 July 2023 · Article by Ramona Richter

„Emotional jewellery: Sophie Hu launches her label Laasio after moving from Beijing to Bad Laasphe.“

„One last breath, one last movement, one last stroke – these are moments that leave deep traces when our beloved pet leaves us. Traces that hurt for a long time. But the memory of those we love lives on – sometimes through a piece of jewellery.“

„Since 2021, under her label ‘Laasio’, Sophie Hu has been creating necklaces and bracelets that bring those memories to life. Whether a print of a dog's paw, a portrait of a house cat or a fingerprint of a beloved person – there's barely anything she can't do.“

„For the 38-year-old Bad Laasphe resident's customers, it's a way to keep their loved ones with them – as a memento, a friendship necklace, a symbol of partnership or just because. A piece of jewellery that brings some customers to tears.“
