Hello, love.
A STORY OF LOVE, MEMORY, AND THE POWER OF MAGIC
I am woman, I am mixed, I am witch, I am the conscious curator, I am ME.
12.10.21 | BY CHANDRA CRYSTAL recchi
I was born between worlds — two cultures, two languages, two very different sets of expectations.
My life has been a journey of balancing my inner desires and outer circumstances.
And while my adult life has been surrounded by Balenciaga blazers and Celine trousers, my childhood was full of crystals, mystic symbolism, and a determined independent lady that I was lucky enough to call, Grandma.
She was a healer, long before that word hit Instagram.
A tarot reader, astrologer, entrepreneur, mystic.
Her shop, Rainbow Zen, moved from city to city — sometimes selling sandwiches, sometimes vintage — always offering healing. She surrounded herself with crystals and any other healing tools she could find and passionately shared it all with her community.
When she passed in 2019, she left me a box filled with her tools — cards, crystals, notes scribbled with stars — and a letter: “It’s your turn now.”
Naturally, I tucked the box into the back of my closet.
Because I had a career to build. Deadlines to meet. Shows to run.
A fabulous, fast-moving, highly curated life.
And then came 2020.
Like so many of us, COVID — soon had me teetering on my Prada heels, and although it didn't quite knock me over, it threw me so far off balance
I realized I’d spent years living in a split-screen:
The successful fashion executive.
The spiritual dreamer with a legacy in her closet.
What I hadn’t realized was, peace doesn’t come from picking a side. It comes from integration.
It comes from claiming all of it — the sensual and the strategic, the mystical and the modern, the polished and the primal.
And that’s where House of Lun was born.
Why am I here.
I work with people who are successful on paper but secretly underwhelmed.
People who have built something but can’t quite feel themselves in it anymore.
People who are ready to lead, create, and live differently — from rhythm, not reactivity. From power, not pressure.
I don’t promise overnight magic.
I offer something better:
A return to your rhythm.
A path to aligned leadership.
Tools that bring beauty, regulation, and clarity into your daily life.
And support when the inner critic — or as I call mine, “Edna” — inevitably tries to drag you back to the old pattern.
This work is a continuation of my grandmother’s legacy —
and the beginning of yours.
You’re not here to squeeze yourself into a box someone else made for or a version of success that seems right.
You’re here to remember—to live it on your terms, in your frequency, in your body.
With rhythm. With resonance. With joy that’s actually felt
