Big or small. Expensive or cheap. Beautifully bound or completely falling apart.

One of the nicest discoveries this trip was this little café tucked away in Penang.

Taste

Somewhere on Beach Street in Penang, there’s a perfume and soap store called Overthink Co.

Laptop covers are back.
Because frankly, life is too short for boring offices and depressing laptops.

On instinct, timing, and building something of your own. There are certain people you come across who make you feel like things are possible in a different way.
JJ Martin is one of them.

Culture

For this collection, we worked with a different approach to batik. Not the traditional copper block stamping most people associate with Malaysian batik, but a silk screen wax-resist technique, where wax is pushed through screens by hand before the fabric is dyed. It sits somewhere between traditional batik and silkscreen printing, but still belongs very much to the batik family because the principle remains the same: wax resisting dye.

Travel

There was a time when Milan was not just a destination, it was the plan. To live there, to build from there, to let Nala exist in a city that understands design in a way few others do. For a while, it felt possible. We had seven shops that were selling nala (100% sell through). We had a presence. We were, in some small way, part of that world.

A return to what is real

There is a reason we called this collection Brutal Times. Not because it is harsh, but because it is honest.

Singapore has a secret weapon, and strangely enough, it’s hidden inside Daiso Singapore.

There are moments in a company’s journey where you quietly close a chapter.
This is one of them.

This weekend, every purchase comes with a bouquet of fresh flowers for the women we love most.

I picked up an issue of Elle Decor UK the other day, and it brought me straight back.

We did plan to go to PS.Cafe at Dempsey Hill, but not only for lunch. It was one of those combined missions. Eat, look around, understand the area, and quietly ask ourselves if Nala could ever belong here.

This Friday, three pieces come together.
Not because they were planned as a set, but because they found their way into the same moment.

Not all stories are ordinary, and that is exactly the point.

There’s a moment right now where everything feels a little tighter, a little sharper. You can ignore it, or you can meet it properly. We prefer the second.

There’s a quiet strength there. Not loud, not dramatic. Just acceptance.
Life gives you what it gives you. Anger doesn’t change it. Fighting it doesn’t fix it. At some point, you learn to work with it, not against it.

There are certain habits we don’t question. You change your underwear every day. You don’t wake up and think, should I skip today? You just do it. And yet, somehow, the tablecloth has been treated like a once-a-year guest appearance.

In the past few months, we have quietly arrived in three places at once. With stores now at TANGS Orchard, Tanglin Mall and Great World, Nala has taken on a new shape in Singapore.

Culture, Events

Something happens when coffee people gather. There is a shared sense of intention you can feel immediately, in the way things are presented, in the way people dress, and in the quiet confidence of brands that know exactly what they are doing.
