First on the list is the very first tote we ever made. It fits a computer perfectly and I will be personalising every tote at our Christmas party. Then there is the oven glove, cheerful and practical for every kitchen moment. Of course the Shupatto bag is on this list. Travel light, travel bright. It has become the one gift everybody wants for Christmas.

We also have our little art pieces. They are only thirty nine ringgit each, signed, and filled with love. For something tiny and sweet, there is the small pouch that always comes in handy. Every gift will be wrapped beautifully because presentation matters and beauty should be shared.

Visit our stores, enjoy the season, and come celebrate with us.

The outside features our deconstructed Bunga Raya print, a hibiscus taken apart and redrawn into bold, contemporary shapes and colours. It feels vibrant without feeling touristy. On the inside sits our Willow Wishes Dandelion pattern. The dandelion symbolises resilient women, so the pairing feels intentional. Strength on the inside, beauty on the outside.

The bags come in two colours and both are fully reversible. Two moods in one piece. We also added a gold Nala embroidery on the outside, a small detail that gives the design a quiet lift.

What has not changed is the practicality. The maxi bag is light, strong, washable, and endlessly useful. Perfect for travel, sport, work, school, groceries, anything. The handles are made from faux leather, which makes it an easy choice for vegetarians or for anyone who prefers to avoid real leather.

A simple, honest, beautifully drawn bag. An everyday companion with an atelier heart.

I am commuting between both cities now, and the Singapore team has become part of our family. To celebrate that, I designed a set of orchid prints for Christmas and Chinese New Year. It is a small tribute to a place that has welcomed us so generously.

The Lan Hua collection is built entirely from orchids, drawn in one colour, with three patterns. Lan Hua Red with Love, Lan Hua Laced with Love, and Lan Hua Singapore Soul. Each carries its own character, but together they form something calm, modern, and
quietly joyful.

The inspiration came from the orchid show at the botanical gardens. Orchids are often seen as a cliché, but when you take them apart and study the petals and curves, they reveal so much beauty. When you rebuild them in a new way, the flower feels fresh again. I added a touch of blue to lift the red, and the result is a happy print that sits naturally in any wardrobe or home.

Singapore is the largest exporter of orchids, yet the flower is becoming less present in daily life. It is too beautiful to disappear. We live in the tropics. We should have orchids in our homes all the time. The Lan Hua prints are a reminder of that. Contemporary, classic, and filled with quiet grace. A small love letter to one of the most elegant flowers in our region.
