Our first SOON bag launch at Opening Ceremony and Haerfest.com

Talk to Her collaborated with fellow Korean American entrepreneurs, Very Good Light, known for its mission of spreading inclusivity within the beauty industry and redefining masculinity, and Haerfest who create bags for Visionaries in Motion.

An all-in-one dopp kit and crossbody hybrid that is as wearable as it is timeless, the bag’s name, SOON, is a play on words. In English, “soon” means “almost” – perhaps awaiting to arrive at a certain destination point. In Korean, it means “pure.” “SOON applies to our lives as young entrepreneurs,” says David. “We know that working hard and step by step forward motion will deliver us to our aspirational destinations.”

Ministry of Ideas

On Monday, June 11th, I’m invited to speak at Ministry of Ideas for the contemporary travel industry at the New World Center in Miami. They're putting together a panel to explore the​ ​value of creating experiences that can translate into stories.

Ministry of Ideas is the un-conference designed by LE Miami, an event that brings together more than 1,500 of the most influential individuals and brands in contemporary travel for four days of business and thought leadership. They aim to inspire innovation and creativity within contemporary travel by inviting disruptors from outside the industry (tech, fashion, music, etc.) to share insights on global trends and habits.

Ministry of Ideas takes place during the first two days of LE Miami and seeks to inspire future travel trends by asking visionaries in other verticals to share new perspectives.
