Boilerplate · around 80 words

One person. One piece. One honest record.

à la luck is a one-person handcraft studio making edition-of-one hand-knotted talismans from natural stones and time-marked components. Founded by Yifeng Tao in 2025, every piece is made once in her solo studio in China and sold directly through alaluck.com. Materials are named by the most specific identity and treatment evidence available. ALALUCK LLC is the U.S. business entity, registered in Wyoming in February 2026; production does not take place in Wyoming.

The three non-negotiables

The standard behind the short description.

Edition-of-one production

Every piece is made once. Sold means gone; a later work may share material, but not the same construction.

Honest material naming

Magnesite stays magnesite. Dye, stabilization, composite material, and uncertainty are named when known.

Function with personal meaning

The maker can describe materials and tradition; the wearer decides what the object means in lived experience.

Pre-cleared lines

“Real exclusivity is structural, not marketing.”
“When we use magnesite, we say magnesite—not ‘white turquoise.’”
“The irregularity is the integrity.”
