A hundred years from now, in 2123, most of us will no longer be here. Our dwellings, the lands we fought for, the properties we accumulated, even the luxury car for which we saved every penny, will have new owners. Strangers will walk through the halls of the houses we built and loved, owning what was once ours.
Our lives, deeds, and stories might seem like nothing more than grains of sand in the vast desert of existence. Our names might be forgotten, our images might fade. Think about how many of us know the father of our grandfather or the mother of our grandmother. After we are gone, we will be a memory for some years, then just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our story, our photos, our deeds go into the trash bin of history's oblivion, not even memories.
But we are not just physical creatures made of blood and bones. We are also beings of stories, memories, and dreams. We are not merely people who possess things, but individuals who create experiences, who generate feelings, who leave a mark in the fabric of time. And these footprints, these memories, can last much longer than any material object.
At Magic Thread, we firmly believe in this. We believe that every person, no matter how humble or simple they may seem, has the power to change the destiny of the world. We believe that every individual has the power to leave an indelible mark in the fabric of history.
The plush toys we create are not just simple toys. They are mediums of storytelling, tools of memory. They are small pieces of eternity that allow you to tell your story, to express your spirit, to leave your mark. Each plush toy is a tangible memory, a symbol of a moment, an experience, a dream. A way to say: 'I was here. I lived, I loved, I dreamed.'
And, just like us, every plush toy has the potential to change the world. Each puppet has the chance to touch a heart, to brighten a smile, to inspire a dream. Because, despite appearances, it is not the size or material value of an action that makes it meaningful, but the amount of love and passion put into it.
So yes, one day all of us will pass. But the memories we create, the stories we tell, the lives we touch with our love and passion, those will remain. And perhaps, in a distant future, someone will find one of our plush toys and, holding it in their hands, will feel a connection to us. They will feel our presence, our emotions, our dreams. And in that moment, we will be alive again. We will live in their stories, their memories, their dreams. Because that is the true power of Filo Magico: the power to create eternal memories, to leave an indelible mark in the fabric of time, to change the destiny of the world..
Craftsmanship has the unique power to connect people across time and space. Each handmade piece is a piece of history, a fragment of soul passed from one person to another. A handmade puppet from Filo Magico can become a tangible memory, a symbol of love, of affection, of moments of joy and sadness, of successes and failures. It can become a symbol of our passage on this planet, a sign of our desire to leave the world a little better than we found it.
This is not just a romantic theory. Numerous research studies underscore the importance of stories and memories in building our sense of identity and belonging. Research from the Harvard Business Review shows how stories can influence our behavior, our view of the world, and our aspirations.
Another study published in Nature highlights how the creation of physical objects, like handmade puppets, can strengthen our memory and our ability to remember.
