Honestly, I’ve been so stressed out about selling everything to everyone that I forgot one of the most important things- who my customer actually IS.
You’re an ARMY who is a professional, often working in a space that doesn’t understand the love we feel for these seven men who have touched our lives in so many ways.
You’ve struggled to find your equilibrium in a world that wants to crush us, and you’ve survived and thrived because of the words of Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi when they told you that it was okay to doubt and to be afraid, but that no matter how thorny the road is, run.

These will seamlessly transition from the concert to your everyday purse or briefcase.
Each of these is handmade by me in my studio. I cut the acrylic, I make the tassels and the beaded accents, and then assemble them. These aren’t designed in Texas and assembled overseas, and I’m not going to apologize for pricing them so I can pay for my time and my supplies.
These are $30, and I offer flat-rate shipping worldwide.
I’ve seen a lot of folks asking how to add something honoring the Korean roots BTS has so proudly shown us with this tour and album, and I decided to try making a norigae fusing both Texas pride and Korean love and came up with this norigae-style ornament. There are three styles available now, bu
