Lucky Money
December 2006
Traditionally, Li Xi envelopes containing “lucky money” were given during Chinese New Year. Graphic designer Tram Pham was introduced to the custom as a child during this festive time. Today, the red envelopes are used throughout the year for other special occasions including weddings and birthdays, and Mrs. Pham elegantly preserves this tradition, and shares it.
We love her highly symbolic, delicately beautiful cards, where ornate silhouettes and shadows are created using intricate lasercutting. So dramatic! They will make all your New Year’s greetings memorable.
