About us
Are you drawn to the vibrant pulse of cities? Do you seek to capture the essence of a place, beyond the typical tourist snapshots?

We’re not just selling refrigerator magnets; we’re offering you windows into the heart of China’s most captivating cities
Our Journey
From Souvenirs to Soulful Souvenirs
Like many, we started our travels collecting magnets – those little emblems of places visited. But we felt something was missing. Generic landmarks and mass-produced designs didn’t capture the feeling, the spirit of a city. We yearned for something more authentic, something that truly resonated with the unique energy of each place.
That’s why we created CoolCityMagnets. We envisioned magnets that are more than just souvenirs – they are miniature works of art, storytellers, and personal mementos of urban adventures (or dream destinations!)
The CoolCityMagnets Difference
Crafted by Local Artists, Inspired by City Life
What makes CoolCityMagnets truly special? It’s the human touch, the local perspective, and the stories woven into every design.
We collaborate with talented artists who live and breathe the very cities we celebrate. These are not just designers; they are storytellers with a brush (or digital pen!). They pour their personal experiences, their love for their hometown, and their unique artistic vision into each magnet.
Each CoolCityMagnet tells a three-part story
1. City Story & Transformation: We delve into the rich history, vibrant culture, and fascinating evolution of each Chinese city. Discover the whispers of ancient dynasties alongside the roar of modern progress. Learn about the landmarks, the hidden gems, and the moments that shaped each urban landscape.
2. Artist’s Inspiration: A Story of Life & Emotion: Hear directly from the local artist. What are their personal stories connected to this city? What emotions and daily life experiences sparked their design? Understand the inspiration behind every line, color, and symbol. It’s a glimpse into their heart and their city.
3. Meaning Embodied in the Magnet: Beyond the beautiful design, each CoolCityMagnet holds a deeper meaning. What does this magnet symbolize? What message does the artist want to convey? Discover the layers of interpretation and personal connection that each magnet offers.
