It’s Leonard, the shop founder of Marseem, which sells vintage handmade cotton dolls. First, I would like to thank you for visiting my shop and taking an interest in the stories that the dolls include. My shop doesn’t aim only to present handmade dolls that enhance home decor, but to deploy societal values and rich heritage that we forgot through the dolls’ stories, and encourage everyone to uphold them.

I would love to share my story of falling in love with Constance in the 18th century. But before that, let me describe to you what I’m wearing. As you can see, I’m wearing a classic sleeveless camisole dress made of olive gold satin, adorned with buttons and decorative loops. My curly hair is styled into a bouclé ponytail, reflecting the fashion of my time. My shoes are copper-colored with shiny buckles, creating a striking contrast with my snow-white silk socks.

I’m a bird boy of the 18th century. I love to listen to classical symphonies. My younger sister, Eleanor, wanted to learn how to play piano. So, she invited her girlfriend Constance, who is skilled in piano, to teach her a track of Mozart’s symphony. Once Constance started playing a Mozart track, I heard her playing coming from my sister’s room. I stopped, surprisingly, to listen to the beautiful musical track that Constance was playing. “What beautiful playing,” I said. Herein, my heart started beating in love with Constance. To what extent does music affect our feelings and emotions to make us fall in love?

Are you excited to see my girlfriend, Constance?
