A single colour, a thousand petals

This is a collection I created especially for Singapore, launched at Tanglin (Tangs end December) and it marks a moment where Singapore and KL truly feel like one Nala universe.

LISETTE

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.

Today we are launching our new Chinese New Year Firecracker wrapping paper, and honestly, calling it wrapping paper feels almost unfair.

LISETTE

It is really pretty. Pretty enough to live on your wall. Think poster, not something you throw away. Flowers, firecracker energy, colour, joy. Something that stays long after the gift has been opened.

This year, we created two versions. Singapore has its own flowers. Malaysia has its own flower. Each design is a small tribute to place, culture, and the beauty of celebrating where you are. It is festive, graphic, and quietly bold.

Everything is hand drawn by me, and that makes this extra special. We also wrapped it in a way that allows you to recycle everything easily or frame it on your wall. No excessive ribbons, no layers of logos you cannot reuse. Just one bold logo, placed with intention. I am really proud of this because it breaks a little from how we usually do things, and yet it still feels very beautiful and very us.

With any purchase, you can receive one sheet of wrapping paper. Just ask our shop attendants or store managers and they will happily give you one. It is our little New Year gift to you.

It also comes with a beautiful matching sticker sheet, so you can play, layer, decorate, or personalise. And as of today, you can get your own vase too, a hand painted vase by Nala, made to hold flowers long after Chinese New Year has passed.

Wrap it. Recycle it. Frame it. Or tape it to the wall. Flowers belong everywhere.
