This website is still under construction so please excuse the dust. Our week starts on Sundays and ends Saturdays - CA, USA time!

A brief introduction...

Paradox Shoppe is a small business owned by @ParadoxSketchbook (Healing le Soul) / Reji Randhawa.

The shop was originally created in 2018 with some ideas of what it would focus on providing to the world. In 2020 through 2022 the branding of the shop started to become a reality with the help of Mandy Musiol (@illucandy) who gave the shop mascot a true form from the written description and concept sketches that ParadoxSketchbook had provided and struggled with since 2018.

After a few more years of struggling, finally, at the end of 2024 and start of 2025 the shop and brand finally came to life. Now the shop has a proper identity and ideas of what sort of services it would provide to the world. What you see today on the website and our social media took almost 8 years to finally come to light. We hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor and the patience we have put into creating a fun brand that not only provides physical goods but entertainment with the mascot's stories fueling the new concepts and events that we host.

Our mission

We are on a mission to provide cute stories, shopping events and products to peeps with the kawaii syndrome.

Our vision

We want to bring our mission to life by exploring hand-made creations that can be used for displaying or function as a useable item.

Our Mascot

Kwari is an original character created by the shop owner Healing le Soul (@ParadoxSketchbook) who was brought to life visually by Mandy (@illucandy), a whimsical illustrator.

Kwari is a young croc dragon who has yet to find her wings (ignore the images illustrating her with wings, they are for visual kicks only).

Kwari tends to differ from other dragons and beasties in the forest as she tends to embrace all things kawaii, cute, glittery, and pink. She likes to describe herself as having the kawaii syndrome. Her den looks different for that reason and can leave a major impact in everyone's memory due to how flamboyant it is visually.

Kwari goes to explore the forest every day to either discover new things or gather supplies. Sometimes along the way she'll meet others in the forest who she trades goodies with. One of the most important things that she does is to scavenge for an iridescent gold-like material she calls Glitter Goo. She has a way to process this material from which she creates small star shaped coins with her own little signature on them (a spiral) called Skims. Skims are highly valued as they can be melted to create jewelry and trinkets so it is a very popular trading material in the forest.

Come to Kwari's den and see what she has available for trading today. Who knows, you just might be lucky and see that the magic Honey Bag is visible with long forgotten goodies.
