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.

There’s a moment right now where everything feels a little tighter, a little sharper. You can ignore it, or you can meet it properly. We prefer the second.

This new series of scarves leans into that idea. Three prints are built around sharpness, not in a hard way, but in a clear way. Seeing things as they are. Making decisions faster. Moving with intention. It is a quiet reminder that even in uncertain times, you can still be precise, still be light on your feet.

They are locally printed, with a clean, crisp finish that holds the detail exactly as it was drawn. The lines stay sharp, the colours stay clear. Nothing muddy, nothing lost.

And then comes the softer side. Seal the Deal returns, but this time in lighter tones. The same idea of confidence and closure, just expressed with a bit more air, a bit more ease. Less pressure, more flow.

They are made to move with you. Tie them as a top, wrap them as a two-dong, knot them onto your handbag, or fold them away entirely. They take up almost no space, which means there is no excuse not to carry one. It is one of those small things that quietly does a lot.

We are stepping into a period where being thoughtful matters. Not fearful, not hesitant, just awake. A little sharper, a little clearer, and still finding ways to make things beautiful.

Available now

There’s a quiet strength there. Not loud, not dramatic. Just acceptance.
Life gives you what it gives you. Anger doesn’t change it. Fighting it doesn’t fix it. At some point, you learn to work with it, not against it.

And that’s where something else begins… we’ve always believed in not doing ordinary. Not following rules just because they exist. Not fitting in for the sake of it. This campaign sits right there. Because being different is not something to hide. It’s something to understand. To recognise. To stand beside.

Even people like us, slightly out of place, slightly outside the lines, know what that feels like. And maybe that’s why this matters.

I’m deeply grateful to have met Iman and his family. And grateful that we can play a small part in something bigger. In creating awareness. In shifting how people see.

Because we don’t talk about this enough. And when we don’t, people get left out. Misunderstood. Pushed aside.

This is about changing that, even if only in a small way.

The pieces are now available online for pre-order.
