The LS Do
A Monthly Market at Kasturi

We call it the LS Do, and it is exactly what it sounds like. A fun, vibrant market happening every last Saturday of the month at Kasturi.

Doors open at 10am, and from the morning onwards the space fills with music, food, craft, and community. We are inviting buskers to come and play their songs and share their sound. They bring their own instruments, we provide the mic, and together we create the atmosphere. Throughout the day there will also be a live DJ, keeping the energy flowing.

Good food and beautiful craft are part of what makes this day special. We are welcoming one of the finest tofu makers in Malaysia, serving thoughtful Japanese dishes that are simple, refined, and deeply satisfying. At the same time, Gerai OA will be joining us with their extraordinary indigenous baskets, each one handwoven and rooted in heritage, carrying story and culture within every strand.

And here is the big surprise.

Everyone thought we were not doing Raya this year. But we are.

At this LS Do, we officially launch our Hari Raya collection at the market. The new balloon skirts will make their debut, playful yet elegant, sculptural yet easy to wear. They are designed to celebrate movement, celebration, and togetherness, and they deserve to be seen in person. If you have been waiting for Raya, this is it.

So come and join us.

This season we are doing something I have never done before. The Vase skirts are part of our Firecracker Collection for Chinese New Year, but they sit just as beautifully within Christmas. They are timeless wrap skirts, graceful in movement and full of colour. And yes, for the first time ever, I put my paintings directly onto a skirt.

A vase with flowers is technically not a pattern, but to balance the composition there are several patterns flowing around it, giving the skirt the full Nala universe you know and love.

What matters to us is not only skill. It is integrity. It is attitude. It is whether you go the whole way when you commit to something. We work as one unit. We win together or we lose together. There is no hiding and there is no blaming.
If you are sharp, responsible, emotionally intelligent, and serious about building something meaningful, we want to meet you.
Please send your CV to our customer service team. We will review and arrange either a work trial or an interview.
We are not just filling positions.
We are building a team.
Sunday morning skirt launch at Tanglin Mall

Sunday morning skirt launch at Tanglin Mall

This Sunday at 10 a.m. sharp, we’re releasing our new Balloon Skirt (formerly known as the Pelikat Skirt) in a very limited run of just 25 pieces, available exclusively at our Tanglin store.

LISETTE

SHARE

The last time we launched the Pelikat Skirt, it sold out in under an hour, so if you’ve had your eye on this silhouette, it’s worth coming early.

Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

And while you’re on your way to the store, you might notice something else.

If you’re walking through Tanglin Mall over the next weeks and notice flowers slowly appearing across the floor, you’re not imagining things.

They’re from our Singapore Soul, Lan Hua collection, reimagined as a flower trail leading towards our store. Each shape is inspired by orchids, with different silhouettes and personalities, as a small nod to Singapore’s deep love for orchids and their role as a national symbol. We wanted to create something that gently draws you in, something that feels joyful and slightly unexpected, even before you step inside.

The flower stickers will be on the floor for the next six months, and we’ve also created a small visual display inside the store that will be up for about two weeks, so if you’re around, do come by and have a look before it changes.

We’d love to see you this Sunday morning.

Singapore has Card Day. Malaysia says excuse me?

Special Card Day at TANGS… and yes, we’re doing something in Malaysia too

LISETTE

SHARE

Once every few months, TANGS in Singapore hosts what many shoppers look forward to most: Card Day. It’s the weekend where things get busy in the best possible way. People come early, bags start stacking up, and there’s a very specific Card Day buzz in the air.

And every time, we start getting messages.

“Why is everything happening in Singapore?”
“What about us in Malaysia?”

Fair question.

So this time, we decided to stop explaining and just say: let’s do both.

Launch Ampang Bags at Campus

This tote bag is a small but significant expression of that thinking.
It carries the Campus alphabet, our protractor font, and the spirit of Ampang itself.

It is a true collaboration between Nala and The Campus, rooted in place, design, and intention. We hope this is just the beginning, and that you will see much more of the Ampang Protractor Font in future bags, T-shirts, and objects that continue to tell this story.

A Christmas Day Made for Wandering, Listening, Tasting, and Staying a Little Longer

This Saturday, Kasturi turns into a place of music, stories, and slow Christmas joy.

LISETTE

SHARE

From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., we are hosting a full day Christmas gathering that is less about rushing and more about lingering. Think jazz drifting through the space, beautiful food, warm cups in your hands, and small surprises waiting to be discovered.

A live jazz singer will set the tone for the day, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate, relaxed, and quietly celebratory. There will be storytelling moments woven into the experience, because Christmas is, after all, about stories we carry with us.

Food plays a central role. Japanese bakers will be joining us with their beautiful creations, alongside Ghostbird, who will be serving special coffees made just for this weekend. Expect comforting Christmas cakes, thoughtful flavours, and the kind of treats that invite you to sit down and stay awhile. We will also be serving mulled wine to add a little warmth and cheer to the day.

For 3 hours, Lisette will be personally in store offering personalisation. It is a lovely opportunity to turn a gift into something truly personal, or to mark a moment in time with a name, a word, or a quiet message.

There will also be special Christmas deals available throughout the day, making it the perfect moment to find gifts that are thoughtful, useful, and full of meaning.
