Soultrace Studio's Origin Story

Our story began during a rainy season in Melbourne, three years ago.
While wandering through the cobbled Flinders Lane, I took shelter with designer Doris in a tiny antique store. An elderly Eastern European woman stood behind the counter, gently polishing a cracked crystal with deerskin.

She said,

“This one is called Orphan of the Storm. In 1940, it escaped the burning halls of a Viennese museum and was smuggled to Australia, hidden in a child's shoe.”

Doris was mesmerized. The spiderweb-like fractures shimmered under the light, pulsing with the rhythm of breath—like a heart in the slow process of healing.
She felt an unspoken connection and bought it on the spot. That crystal became the origin of Soultrace Studio.

Later, a geology professor told us the cracks were “healing fissures,” formed under immense pressure.
Each line was a journal entry written by time itself.

After founding the brand, we began seeking out “living stones” across the world—crystals that seemed to carry memory, breath, and soul.

We hand-string them into bracelets, hoping that if you bring them close and give them a gentle shake,
you might hear the wind from the Bolivian salt flats,
or the slow drip of melting Icelandic ice.
