For the second drop of Banal Deluxe, three new prints step into the spotlight. Each one takes its cue from the simplest of objects, things you might overlook in daily life but that carry so much character once you really see them.

There is the gayung, the small bucket with a handle found in almost every Malaysian household. It is still part of our lives today, whether for showering, cleaning floors or scooping water. Then there is the white pepper shaker, always present on the breakfast table with soft-boiled eggs. And finally, the soya sauce bottle, humble and essential, now transformed into something unexpectedly bold.

When enlarged on our Palladio Pants, the soya sauce print even resembles an African textile, proof that design has the power to shift perspectives. As Paul Smith once said, “inspiration is everywhere you look.” That is the truth. With an open mind, a love for design and joy in the work, patterns reveal themselves in even the most ordinary of things.
