一时如是｜品牌创始理念Thus · Once｜Our Founding Philosophy
于一时之间，见真实自我；In a single moment, see your true self;
于如是之中，得自在生活。in suchness, find a life at ease.
一时如是，创立于2020年，是一个专注于天然材质与创意设计的个性化手串品牌。Founded in 2020, Thus · Once is a bespoke bead-bracelet brand devoted to natural materials and creative design.
品牌之名，源于对时间与存在的思考。Its name grows out of reflection on time and being.
「一时」，既是此时此刻，也是人生中每一个不可复制的瞬间。过去无法重来，未来尚未到来，唯有当下，是我们真正能够感知、选择与创造的时刻。珍惜一时，不是执着于转瞬即逝的得失，而是学会觉察自己，拥抱变化，认真生活，在每一个当下活出真实的自我。“Yi Shi” (“at one time”) means this very moment, and every unrepeatable instant in a life. The past cannot be relived and the future has not yet arrived; only the present is something we can truly sense, choose and create. To cherish a moment is not to cling to fleeting gains and losses, but to learn to know oneself, welcome change, live earnestly, and be one’s true self in every present.
「如是」，蕴含着东方哲学与佛学中对真实、自然与本然状态的体悟。「如其所是」，是不强求、不妄饰，不被外界的评价与内心的执念所束缚；是看见事物本来的样子，也允许自己成为本来的样子。它不是消极地接受一切，而是在清醒的认知中理解世界，在从容的心境中做出自己的选择。“Ru Shi” (“thus”, “as it is”) carries the Eastern and Buddhist understanding of what is real, natural and original. To be as it is means not forcing and not adorning; not being bound by others’ judgments or by one’s own attachments; seeing things as they are, and allowing yourself to be as you are. It is not passive acceptance of everything, but understanding the world with a clear mind, and making your own choices with composure.
一时如是，便是珍惜当下，亦是如实生活。在不断变化的世界里，找到属于自己的节奏；在纷繁复杂的生活中，保有内心的秩序与自由。Thus · Once means cherishing the present and living truthfully. In a world that keeps changing, find a rhythm of your own; amid the complexity of life, keep your inner order and freedom.
品牌创始人 Philow 博士，长期深耕科学、哲学、宗教与艺术，在理性探索与精神思考之间，持续寻找人与自然、身体与心灵、个体与世界的连接。对他而言，一串手串不应只是装饰，也不必承载千篇一律的意义。天然材质各有纹理、色泽与质感，如同每个人独特的生命经历与精神气质。通过材质、色彩、形态与设计的巧妙组合，每一串手串都可以成为独属于佩戴者的表达。Our founder, Dr. Philow, has long worked across science, philosophy, religion and art, searching, between rational inquiry and spiritual reflection, for the connections between people and nature, body and mind, the individual and the world. To him, a bead bracelet should be more than decoration, and need not carry one-size-fits-all meanings. Natural materials each have their own grain, colour and texture, just as each person has a unique life story and temperament. Through a careful combination of material, colour, form and design, every bracelet can become an expression that belongs to its wearer alone.
因此，一时如是坚持以天然材料为基础，将创意设计、日常实用与个性化定制融为一体，让传统手串走入现代生活。我们相信，真正有意义的设计，不是替你定义自己，而是帮助你表达自己；不是让你追逐某种理想的生活，而是陪伴你更好地体验正在发生的生活。So Thus · Once builds on natural materials, bringing together creative design, everyday usefulness and personal customization, and carrying the traditional bead bracelet into modern life. We believe meaningful design does not define you; it helps you express yourself. It does not make you chase an ideal life; it keeps you company as you live more fully the life that is happening.
一串手串，可以是一份审美选择，也可以是一种个人信念的寄托；可以提醒你在忙碌中停下片刻，也可以陪伴你度过人生中的某个重要时刻。至于能量与磁场，它们是品牌探索传统文化与个人体验时所关注的概念；我们尊重每个人对身心平衡的理解，同时也珍视科学与理性的边界。A bracelet can be an aesthetic choice, or the keeping of a personal belief; it can remind you to pause amid busyness, or accompany you through an important moment in life. As for energy and magnetic fields, these are concepts the brand explores in its engagement with traditional culture and personal experience; we respect each person’s own understanding of balance between body and mind, while also valuing the boundaries of science and reason.
一时如是，不止于一串手串。Thus · Once is more than a bracelet.
我们希望通过每一件独一无二的作品，为你的生活增添一份自然之美、一份个性表达，以及一份属于自己的精神寄托。Through each one-of-a-kind piece, we hope to add to your life a measure of natural beauty, personal expression, and a spiritual anchor of your own.
愿你在每一个一时，真实地活在当下；在每一个如是之中，从容地成为自己。May you live truly in every moment, and calmly become yourself in every “as it is”.
一时如是 · Thus · Once · Be Here, Be Yourself.
愿你所行有度，所遇皆安，平安喜乐。May your conduct be measured, may all you meet bring peace, and may you know safety and joy.
