"The Pattra 貝多羅" | TP001 [Hong Kong]

"LIFE IS FOR NOTHING;
LIVING IS FOR EVERYTHING"

The debut T-shirt from The Pattra revolves around a thought-provoking message:
“Life is for nothing; Living is for everything.”

This phrase, penned by Pattra Wong, reflects her poetic perspective on the nature of existence. It challenges us to reflect on the difference between merely existing and truly living. While life itself may seem inherently meaningless, it is through our choices, emotions, experiences, and contributions that we give life its true purpose and value.

The design of this T-shirt is minimal yet impactful, with carefully crafted typography and visual elements that complement the profound message. By wearing this piece, you become a walking reminder of a powerful truth—that the meaning of life is not given, but created through living fully and intentionally.

This T-shirt is more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a statement, an inspiration, and a call to action to live with purpose.

The Origin of the Name
The word “Pattra(貝多羅）” originates from Indian Buddhism and refers to the Pattra leaf (also known as palm leaf), an ancient writing material used to record sacred texts and wisdom. It symbolizes the sharing and preservation of knowledge. Inspired by this, we aim to pass on meaningful messages to the world and spark inspiration in every heart.

The Pattra Series is a heartfelt fashion brand dedicated to giving back to society in two meaningful ways:

Sharing profound messages
The Pattra Series’ designs are inspired by Pattra Wong, a primary school student who writes poetic reflections about her unique view of the universe. Her father lovingly transforms these heartfelt messages into visually striking designs, printed on T-shirts, sweaters, tote bags, and caps. Each product carries a story of inspiration and creativity.

Contributing through charity
The Pattra Series donates a portion of its profits to charities focused on helping children, as we firmly believe that nurturing and supporting children leads to a brighter future. By fostering gratitude and the spirit of giving back, we aim to inspire the next generation to create a better world.
