Service Overview

H.K.C.S. Concept @ Story Factory

The Story Factory is a creative hub that brings together diverse artisan brands under one roof. Centred around the artisans themselves, it transforms craftsmanship into a medium for storytelling, cultivating inclusivity within society, connecting individuals, and weaving communities.

Every creation aims to foster social Harmony, acting as a bridge between communities by highlighting the unique qualities of different groups and evoking deep emotional connections.

These works, filled with Kindness and warmth, reflect artisans’ care and love for the world while providing support and hope to those in need. Through Co-creation, brands and artisans collaborate to produce unique pieces, infusing creativity and passion into every detail.

Guided by the principle of Shared value, the Story Factory seeks to combine individual worth with social responsibility, integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ideals into both the brand and the craft.

Beyond economic benefits, each piece symbolises dedication and a sustainable promise to the world - a source of positive influence that nurtures hearts and minds.

Brands Introductions

Geranium – Blossoms of Healing

Every flower reflects the beauty of unexpected encounters. Geranium, co-founded by youth and the Shamshuipo West Happy Teens Club, draws inspiration from the language of geraniums. Through preserved blooms and natural materials, each creation transforms chance meetings into opportunities for renewal in life.

Floral art here is more than just a craft; it serves as a canvas for rewriting personal stories. Young people, once burdened by stress, rediscover their rhythm through petals and leaves. They rebuild confidence through creation and uncover their inner light alongside their peers. Transitioning from students to mentors, they turn setbacks into strengths, sharing their growth through flowers and giving back to the community with their skills.

The brand revolves around three pillars: floral art sales, therapeutic workshops at the 'Flower Story Hub', and training courses led by young florists. These initiatives support individuals and ladies facing career uncertainty or family crises, empowering them with autonomy and new directions in life.

Encounters with flowers foster Harmony, enable Co-creation, and generate Shared value.

Together, let us transform every chance meeting into meaningful change.

SoulMate – A Healing Journey

Every handcrafted ornament tells a story of rebirth. SoulMate was founded by three young ladies who once lived in 'hidden' situation. Through their craft, they reconnected with the world, turning their healing journeys into delicate creations that bring warmth to every soul in need.

For SoulMate, creation is more than just craft; it serves as a path to rediscovering oneself. In the slow rhythm of crafting, young people experience the healing power of presence, release negativity, and regain confidence and widen horizons through each choice and effort. From reconciling with oneself to forging connections with others, SoulMate witnesses every subtle yet profound transformation.

The brand embodies three meanings: handmade jewelry as a medium of self-acceptance, a bridge for fostering human connection, and a safe space for exploring creativity and talent. By embracing imperfection with Kindness, change unfolds, leading to Harmony through self-reconciliation.

May every ornament serve as nourishment that accompanies life's luminous moments.

Rock-the-mountain – Craft Against Prejudice

If prejudice is like a mountain, then every handmade piece we create is a force that shakes it. ‘Rock-the-mountain’ was co-founded by elders, caregivers, multicultural women, individuals with intellectual disabilities, and the HKCS. Through the art of crafting, we work to dismantle stereotypes related to age, race, and ability. Each creation serves as a challenge against bias, transforming life stories into the power to move mountains.

The brand represents more than just craft; it is a platform for change. It enables elders to reclaim their sense of purpose, demonstrating that age should not limit dreams. It gives caregivers the opportunity for self-care through creativity. It provides non-Chinese women with a space for self-expression, redefining their own value. Additionally, it builds non-verbal connections for individuals with disabilities, where creativity becomes a shared language.

Diversity fuels Co-creation, breaks down barriers, and fosters a society grounded in Shared values.

Let every work be a seed that moves mountains until prejudice fades away, creating open paths for all.

STILL – Learning to Love Oneself More

Every eco-friendly product reflects a genuine commitment to the world. STILL was founded by Pui Oi School's high school students, who exhibit remarkable enthusiasm through their environmental initiatives despite facing physical or intellectual challenges. The name 'STILL' signifies 'yet' or 'still to come' , symbolising untapped talents and endless possibilities, reminding society that every individual deserves recognition and the opportunity to thrive.

Each initiative offers a chance for personal growth, helping participants develop practical skills, enhance their employability, foster a sense of belonging and value through teamwork, explore social roles, build confidence in career, and bring hope to their families.

ModelCreator – Everyone Is Life's Architect

ModelCreator was founded and is managed by a group of young individuals passionate about gaming, online culture, and anime, many of whom have faced social challenges.

In today's digital age, we aspire to cultivate attentive listeners of stories through the '6S' framework: Scope (childlike perspective), Strength (sensitivity and detail), Story (capturing overlooked narratives), Sincerity, Stroke, and Sculpt. Using 3D printing, we transform intangible tales into tangible art, reminding the public that the world is still filled with moving fragments. Although our works may lack industrial precision, we convey sincerity and the warmth of a human touch. With patience and dedication, we sculpt each piece, hoping to add more warmth to the world.

These creations are love letters to the world, documenting how, amid the noise and chaos, we choose to believe in life's innocence. ModelCreator is not merely a brand; it serves as a gentle reminder for this era: 'Even if reality is imperfect, there will always be those who cherish the beauty of life with care.'
