SHI ZAI x MRKT5
Teaming up again for a second collaboration! This creation blends the grounding power of earth with inner intuition.
The piece features amethyst—symbolizing deep wisdom and cleansing energy—paired with an army green handwoven cord, drawing inspiration from forest landscapes for a calm yet mysterious style.
It’s both an everyday accessory and a symbol of emotional balance and inner connection, crafted with natural textures and durability to accompany you daily.

MRKT5 × If Only 2026 Year of the Horse
This year’s MRKT5 red envelopes are inspired by galloping horses and rays of light piercing through the clouds, symbolizing momentum, freedom, and our best wishes for the new year.
Golden lines run quietly throughout the design, marking time and direction, and carrying our hopes and dreams for the future.
This year, there are two designs: a surprise version by Van Ness Wu (Mr. Wulala), and another by Josh Lin Tattoo. Both creators interpret the same theme with different color palettes and perspectives.
We hope that when you open, use, or keep these red envelopes, you’ll feel a sense of lightness and joy. Each design is filled with our heartfelt wishes—may it accompany you into a meaningful new year.
