Our padded laptop covers come in two sizes:

Small: fits MacBook Airs, 11” to 13” laptops, and iPads
Large: fits larger MacBook Pro models up to 16”

The smaller size is also great for your iPad, although slightly oversized, which honestly just means more room for notebooks, chargers, sketchbooks, cables, and all the other things floating around in your bag.

Available online and in all stores in Malaysia and Singapore starting this Saturday.

Great for work.
Great for travel.
Great for gifts.
And a very easy way to pretend you have your life together.

Take your pick

Brutalism was never about cold buildings. It was about truth. Materials shown as they are. No hiding, no polishing, no pretending. And strangely, or maybe not strangely at all, batik speaks the exact same language.

Batik is not clean. It is not perfect. It does not behave. The wax resists, the dye moves, the fabric absorbs differently every single time. Edges shift, lines break, colours deepen or soften without asking for permission. You don’t control it fully. You work with it and that’s what makes it raw.

And that rawness is exactly what brutalism stands for. Not the aesthetic, but the philosophy. To show the process. To accept the mark of the hand. To leave room for imperfection, because that is where something real begins. In a world that is increasingly filtered, corrected, and identical, batik refuses to comply.

This collection started in Milan, in courtyards, in markets, in quiet details that most people walk past. Radicchio on a table. Palms behind closed doors. Dandelions that have always been part of our language. Orchids that carry Singapore in their roots. From Milan to Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, we turn what we see into patterns. This is how we keep our stories alive . But this time, we didn’t clean it up.

Every piece in this collection is fully padded. Not just for comfort, but for presence. It holds shape. It holds weight. It holds intention. It feels like something. We wanted this collection to stand its ground, to not disappear into the background, to exist with the same quiet strength as the process behind it.

No two pieces are ever exactly the same. Colours shift, alignments move, small imperfections appear where fabrics meet. That is not a flaw. That is the point .

Real luxury is not perfection. It is knowing that something was made slowly, that someone’s hand was involved, that what you have is not replaceable. In these brutal times, we are choosing to return to that. Less polished, more honest, more human.

The brutal times collection launches in all stores this coming saturday.
Singapore few days later.

This weekend, we launch two final polyester scarves before moving fully towards natural materials for future collections. No drama. No grand announcement. Just a conscious decision about where we want to go, and how we want to create from this point onwards.

The first scarf is called Bouquet.

A wreath of flowers drawn from years of NALA archives. Old blooms reappearing again, woven together like memories from past collections. Some flowers were inspired by travels, some by gardens, some by tiny observations that most people would walk past without noticing. Together, they form a circular bouquet that feels almost ceremonial. Like a farewell.

The second scarf is called Bunga Doily Green.

At first glance, it almost looks like an antique lace doily. But hidden inside the pattern is the bunga raya, quietly deconstructed and layered into something softer and more intricate. The details are incredibly delicate. Floral lines folding into each other until the scarf almost feels architectural from afar, yet very feminine up close.

It’s the kind of print that changes depending on how you use it. Beautiful around the neck, tied onto a bag, worn as a top, or even framed on a wall. We’ve always loved objects that can move between fashion and interiors, and this scarf naturally does both.

And yes, practical matters too.

They travel easily, survive the washing machine beautifully, and keep their sharpness and color incredibly well. Polyester allowed us to create these crisp details and saturated tones over the years. Many of you discovered NALA through these scarves.

But design evolves, and so do values.

As we move forward, we want to explore fabrics that age differently, breathe differently, and carry texture and imperfection in a more natural way. Materials with soul. Materials that become more beautiful through use.

So these scarves mark the end of an era.

The final polyester scarves we will ever produce.

A last chance for those who love the practicality, lightness, and crispness of our classic printed scarves.

And somehow, it feels fitting that the goodbye comes wrapped in flowers.

The Nice Dress became the Nice Skirt. We went back into our own work, looked at it again, and realised what we really wanted was something more flexible. Something you reach for more often. So we reshaped it. Same ease, same movement, just more freedom.

Then comes the Sexy Boss Shirt.
Structured, but soft. Confident without trying too hard. It frames the body, ties where it matters, and carries a certain attitude. The kind that does not ask for attention, but gets it anyway.

And then, the finishing piece.

The Half Moon Bag, in pink Bunga Raya. Part of our Estate Carry-On collection. It sits easily, moves with you, and carries just enough. Inspired by our national flower, but seen through our own lens. Familiar, but not obvious.

Three pieces. Three intentions.

The Nice Skirt and Sexy Boss Shirt belong to the Banale Deluxe collection. The bag to Estate Carry-On. Different worlds, but somehow they work together.
