13 Is My Lucky Number

I’ve always had a soft spot for the number 13. Most people avoid it. I choose it.
It’s my reminder to walk towards what feels uncomfortable, not away from it.

I recently received Fail on Purpose: The 0% Chance Mindset by Uanthern Loh, and it immediately resonated. Not because it taught me something completely new, but because it put words to something I’ve always believed. I’ve never been afraid to fail. My question has always been simple: what is the worst thing that can happen?

And the truth is, the worst thing is that you fail. But that’s not really the worst thing. You learn, you get back up, and you move on. Nobody dies, nobody gets hurt. It’s all far less dramatic than we make it out to be.

What the book does beautifully is reframe failure as something you can practice. Not avoid, not fear, but actively step into. Because the more you experience it, the less power it has over you.

In business and in life, that changes everything. When failure stops feeling like a verdict, you become freer to try, to build, and to begin. And sometimes, that’s all it takes.

Wrap It. Frame It. Keep It.

Wrap It. Frame It. Keep It.

We have a little surprise for you this weekend.

We’ve just launched new flower posters, and with any purchase, you’ll receive one for free. There are two versions, both simple, beautiful, and easy to live with. Think of it as affordable art.

We spend so much money on wrapping paper, only to crumple it up, cover it in tape, and throw it away within seconds. The truth is, the cost of printing something disposable is no different from printing something worth keeping.

So wrap your gift with it. Then frame it. No tape, no waste, just something that continues to live on your wall.

Available this weekend at all our stores in Malaysia.

Coasting at Great World

At the edge of Great World, we’re coasting.

Sometimes you just don’t know what to get a man. And honestly, this solves it. Our leather coasters are a small collaboration with fourjei, handmade by founder Sze Jie and her husband, using our archive fabrics. Nothing complicated, just something useful, well made, and a little bit unexpected.

We figured Singapore probably needs coasters more than Malaysia, so they’re only available here. Made from real leather, they’re durable as hell and will last you forever. The kind of thing you don’t think about, until you have it and then can’t do without it.

It’s a small piece, but it makes a great gift. Easy, cool, and actually practical.

Only at Great World. Right at the edge.

In de Bloemetjes Zetten

This Friday and Saturday, we’re doing something simple at TANGS on Orchard Road.

I will be there personally, handing out bouquets of flowers to our customers. No reason, no minimum spend, just because.

In Dutch, we have a saying, “in de bloemetjes zetten.” It means to put someone in the flowers. To celebrate them. To show appreciation in a small, beautiful way. And that’s exactly what we want to do.

Singapore has welcomed us so warmly. We’re incredibly grateful to be at TANGS, and even more grateful for the customers who have supported us from the very beginning. This feels like the right moment to give something back.

Flowers have always been at the heart of what we do. They’re where our inspiration begins. So this weekend, they’re yours.

Friday and Saturday, only at TANGS on Orchard Road.

Vol.14 寂しいけれど、嬉しい話

Nala Designsに小さな変化が訪れました。
マレーシアから日本へ。
新しい物語が始まるかもしれません。

さて今日は、書こうか書かないでおこうか、少し迷ったお話があります。

なぜなら少しプライベートな出来事ではあるのですが、Nala Designsにとっても大切な変化につながるお話だからです。

Nala Designs の日本版アカウントのメインモデルとして、

きっと皆さん一度は目にしたことがあるあの Emi が、なんと

マレーシアを離れ、日本へ帰ることになりました。

マレーシアにいる私たちにとっては、正直、少し寂しいニュースです。

「全マレーシアが泣く!」と言うのはさすがに大げさかもしれませんが、

それでも Nalaにとって彼女の存在がとても大きかったことは間違いありません。

そもそものきっかけは、

2024年5月にNala Japanが開催した「Video Competition」でした。

日本で女優として活動していた彼女は、その実力を存分に発揮し、圧巻の涙の演技で見事優勝。

そのリールを見たとき、「さすが…!」と思った方も多かったのではないでしょうか。

当時の優勝作品はこちら: Link here

そこから、もともとNalaのファンだった彼女とNala Designsとの関係がスタートしました。

まさかそこから2年もの付き合いになるとはLisetteも思ってなかったと思います。

しかし!マレーシアにいる私たちにとっては少し寂しい出来事ですが、

日本に住む皆さんにとっては、むしろ嬉しいニュースかもしれません。

なぜならこれからは、

日本でも、よりNala Designsを身近に感じられる機会が増えるかもしれないからです。

マレーシアを離れても、彼女とNala Designsの関係が終わるわけではありません。

引き続きEmiは、Nala Designsの活動に関わっていく予定です。これからは日本という新しい場所から、どんなストーリーやコンテンツが生まれていくのか。

その続きも、どうぞ楽しみにしていてください。
