To all those who are reading this, thank you for taking the time to take a look at my shop. After the amazing experience of exchanging gifts with kkOma at MSI 2021, I decided that I would like to design and produce these lovely ties as gifts for my fellow coaches and competitors attending the world championship in 2021. The response has been wonderful, and I've made more than a few friends along the way. The ties are made in the UK, and feature "Guardian Lions" (also known as stone lions or shishi (石獅; shíshī)), who serve as protectors against harm according to Chinese mythology. I love the symbol not only as an homage to my team, MAD Lions, but also as an acknowledgement of my Chinese heritage (my Grandmother on my father's side, who came from Macau). Since then, a number of people have asked me if I could make them available for purchase to the general public, and so here they are. I hope that you like them, and I hope that they bring you good fortune and prosperity as they have done for me. With love, Mac
