Bringing back comfort and confidence
Hou-vàst in dutch translates to hold on. It is a product that helps restore your confidence. Everyone gets a good feeling with a nice memory. I can incorporate this memory into this product for you. Hold the object if you are feeling down, this will give you a good feeling and you will be confident again.
