THE SOUR COMMANDMENTS ᯓᡣ𐭩.ᐟ ⊹

I Thou shall not serve gods, only village ladies.

The mission behind everything we do at SOUR is to give $$$, raise awareness, and empower the strong, village women in rural China who craft our breathtaking textiles. They are the backbone of their local economies and the reason SOUR exists. 

II Thou shall not drink ice water.

III Save Every Plastic Bag or Else Dishonor to Your Family (& Planet)!!!

IV Thou shall not be 坏人 (evil) - no room for cut fruit apologies. That’s why we do all things Bible. 

V Don’t entertain the enemy (Just saying, West Coast Best Coast = 626 Supremacy.)

Nonghao!

I'm Becca Pu, the creator and head of SOUR GONGZHU.

TLDR; ⋆˙⟡ — it all started when my best friends and I traveled to the rural mountains of SW. China - AGAINST THE WISHES OF EVERY AUNTY - to visit my family after graduating from college. We met village artisans with gorgeous textiles and larger than life personalities. And now we're on a mission to empower these ladies to bring their ancient craft to the global stage.

SOUR disappoints the norm of what aunties want. But real Gongzhus want to fa cai, wear microminis, and make good trouble.
