The Red String – Touch&Feel

• In Chinese and Japanese folklore, a The Red String of Fate connects people destined to meet, symbolising fate, love, and unbreakable bonds.
• In many folk traditions, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, a red ribbon is tied around a person’s wrist, baby’s crib, or even animals to protect them from the evil eye or bad luck. This belief is tied to the power of the color red to ward off negative forces.
• In Kabbalistic tradition, a red string (often a ribbon) is tied around the wrist for protection and spiritual blessing. The string is said to ward off evil and is associated with Rachel, a matriarch who represents compassion and protection.
• In Hinduism, the red string bracelet is known as “Kautuka” (कौतुक) or “Kalava” (कलव). It is a ritual thread worn on the wrist, typically by men on the right wrist and women on the left wrist. The thread is believed to offer protection, good luck, and spiritual connection.
