While inspired by Hawaii, it was brought to life much closer to home, in Penang, an island that reminds me every day that we have our own version of aloha right here in Southeast Asia.

This Saturday, we are excited to launch the very first Aloha mini drop, available exclusively at Nala Great World, Singapore.

This first release offers a glimpse into the world of Aloha, featuring beautiful Indian cottons, tropical prints, and, for the first time in Nala’s history, a complete black outfit. After countless requests from our customers, we finally said yes, and the result is elegant, effortless, and surprisingly timeless.

Alongside the prints are a selection of beautiful solids designed to mix, match, and travel effortlessly through everyday life.

I am incredibly proud of this story. It’s full of sunshine. For now small first drop before the rest of Aloha arrives.

We hope you’ll love it as much as we do.

Available from Saturday onwards, exclusively at Nala Great World, Singapore.

Aloha by Nala

If you forgot, don’t panic. We’ve got you covered. Our NALA caps are just RM50 in Malaysia and make the perfect gift for the dad who appreciates a bit of style. Better yet, pair one with one of our brand new hand printed T shirts, fresh in store this weekend, for an effortlessly cool combination.

something he’ll actually use and enjoy. No novelty socks, no last minute supermarket chocolates, just thoughtful gifts with a bit of personality.

After all, dads deserve to be celebrated all year round. Better late than never.

Where else are you going to find a giant red chair on the back of a T-shirt? One of our favourite patterns, inspired by an everyday plastic chair, has made the leap from artwork to fashion, continuing its journey from ordinary to art and back to ordinary again.

We’re also bringing back our beloved dandelion. For us, it’s more than just a flower. It’s a little symbol of resilience, of standing tall and blooming wherever life plants you. A quiet reminder, especially for women, that strength can be both gentle and beautiful.

This latest edition is even better. Every T-shirt is hand printed, and we’ve upgraded the cotton to a thicker, more luxurious quality that’s designed to last.

I love that these pieces don’t take themselves too seriously. They’re little wearable artworks that make people smile and, judging by how quickly they’ve been disappearing, it seems we’re not the only ones who think so.

Available from next week, and ready to add a little joy, a little colour, and perhaps even a very large red chair to your wardrobe.

One of my favourite patterns started with a simple plastic chair. It was one of the very first designs in the Banal series, a celebration of the everyday objects we often overlook. I loved the idea that something so familiar could become a piece of art, simply by looking at it differently.

Years later, that story has come full circle.

The pattern has found its way back into everyday life as Sila Duduk, our new collection of stools. I love the journey it has taken. An ordinary object became art, and that art has become an ordinary object once again, ready to be part of someone’s home and daily routine.

Sila Duduk, which means “please, have a seat,” is designed to be wonderfully useful. It can be a stool, a side table, a bedside companion, a footrest, or simply a cheerful splash of colour in a room. Small enough to fit anywhere and versatile enough to become indispensable, it’s the kind of object that quietly finds its place in your life.

There’s something deeply satisfying about this cycle. Good design shouldn’t live behind glass or only on gallery walls. It should be touched, used, enjoyed and lived with. The best objects are often the ones that make everyday life a little more beautiful.

Ordinary. Art. Ordinary Again.

It’s a simple idea, but perhaps that’s exactly the point. Beauty is all around us. Sometimes we just have to look twice.

Exclusively available at Kasturi.

The good news? We’ve managed to create a very small second run.

Our beloved Jalan Jalan skirt, named after the Malay expression for wandering and exploring, is back in a beautiful new colourway. To me, it’s the perfect everyday skirt: comfortable, flattering, and ready for whatever the day has in store.

We’ve also topped up a selection of our favourite tops and the ever elegant Kee Ming Yuet skirts, giving those who missed out the first time another opportunity.

As always with NALA, quantities are limited. We make small batches because we believe in thoughtful production rather than endless stock. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

So if you’ve had your eye on a Brutalist batik piece, this might just be your second chance.

Happy wandering.

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.
