What started quietly has turned into something quite special.

The opening in Penang was a real moment. Full, warm, and alive in the way you hope an exhibition will be. We were honoured to have Rebecca Owen with us, and endlessly grateful to Narelle McMurtry for opening her space and making this possible.

This exhibition is a return to something very simple. Looking closely. Really closely.
Herbs, often overlooked, suddenly become the centre of attention. Enlarged, reworked, and reassembled into something that feels both familiar and completely new.

From this body of work, we are releasing three limited edition fine art prints.

The largest, Buah Keras (candle nut), holds two flowers and anchors the collection.
Then Jintan Manis, more delicate, more intricate.
And finally, Daun Kari (curry leaf). Very grounded. Very honest. And quietly strong. One of our favourites.

Each print is available in A2, A3, and A4.
Framed and unframed options are available.

All prints are produced on Hahnemühle German Etching paper with deckled edges. A paper with weight, texture, and presence. It holds the work in the way it should be held.

We are keeping this tight.
Only eight prints per design.

This is not something we will repeat.

All works are currently visible in Penang, with a delivery time of approximately two weeks.

Alongside the exhibition, we took the team up for what became our “art weekend.”
A pottery class, long meals, too much laughter, and just enough chaos. The kind of time that reminds you why you do any of this in the first place.

The exhibition runs until the end of May.

If you are in Penang, go and see it.
If not, reach out. We’ll take you through it.

We were deeply inspired by his journey and the strength of his family. It reminded us that real impact often begins at home, with patience, resilience, and love.

At NALA, we don’t do ordinary. We don’t follow trends, we don’t design by demand, and we don’t create to fit in. We choose our own path, guided by instinct, emotion, and meaning.

Our stores are not ordinary spaces. They are places of colour, feeling, and openness. Our collections are not ordinary. Our patterns are not ordinary. And most importantly, the way we connect with people is not ordinary.

We believe in making people feel seen. We believe in creating beauty that goes beyond what you wear. We believe in spaces, products, and ideas that bring comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

This is why this collaboration is so close to our hearts.

Through this partnership, we proudly support Adam’s Autism Family, helping them continue their mission to raise awareness and support autism families across Malaysia. In honour of Autism Acceptance Month, we will also contribute to the National Autism Society of Malaysia, supporting programmes nationwide.

This is more than merchandise. It is a way to stand beside Adam, support his family, and strengthen the autism community together.

If you would like to be part of this, you can visit our stores or shop online to purchase exclusive AAF pieces, available only through NALA. Preorders will be available online first, followed by a limited in-store release.

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.

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.
