A warm scene with tea, a sandalwood comb, and a jade bracelet on a wooden table near a window

Our Story

Growing up between cultures, Chinese rituals were never “wellness trends.” They were simply part of life.

The sandalwood comb on the vanity. The jade bracelet worn every day. The quiet ritual of tea. The feeling that small objects can hold meaning.

by guimi exists to bring these rituals — subtle, beautiful, and deeply rooted — into your home.

闺蜜 (guī mì)  = best female friend, the one that always brings you the beautiful things that quietly make life better

With care,

What does the brand stand for?
