Draw flowers with me

Good news.
Our workshop at Tanglin Mall this Saturday has now gone down to just SGD99, and we still have space for 15 people,
so you can simply walk in and join us.

LISETTE

I’ll personally be teaching the session, and for two to two and a half hours, we’ll go into the world of flowers, pattern-making, and design.

You’ll learn how to draw flowers, how to deconstruct them, how to really look at shape, rhythm, and detail, and then how to turn those drawings into patterns. The exact process I use myself when creating prints for Nala.

And the nicest part is that you’ll leave with your own framed artwork to take home.

🕙 This Saturday
📍 Tanglin Mall
⏰ 10AM to 12PM / 12:30PM-ish
💲 SGD99

You can simply show up and pay on the spot.

Bring your friends, come alone, come curious. No age limit, no experience needed, and absolutely no need to know how to draw. Everyone is welcome.

There’ll be tea, cookies, conversation, and hopefully a really beautiful morning filled with creativity, flowers, and a lot of fun.

See you Saturday

Take one, Take another

Stand still. Look closer. We’ve been thinking about Singapore.
About its love for colour, for pattern, for detail, and for stories that feel close to home. And we realised that the best way to introduce Nala is not from a distance, but up close, where those stories begin to reveal themselves.

So we created Take One, Take Another.

A simple idea. Take one piece, then take another. Yes, it comes with a buy one, get one free offer, but more importantly, it gives you the chance to experience the collection properly.
Because when you spend a little more time, you start to see it.
The stories behind the prints. The references that feel familiar. The details that connect back to Singapore.

Our Singapore Soul and Lan Hua prints are part of that. Inspired and illustrated in the Botanical Gardens, they carry the quiet strength and beauty of orchids, something deeply rooted in Singapore itself. These pieces are part of the collection, and part of this moment.

Alongside this, selected items are also available at up to 50% off, making it even easier to step in and explore.

You’ll find this across Great World, Tanglin Mall, and TANGS, now until the end of the month.

We’ve also just welcomed Kartini, our Singapore TikToker. She’ll be moving between stores, capturing moments and sharing what happens behind the scenes. If you see her, say hello.
So come in. Take your time. Stand still. Look closer.

Take one. Take another.

A Double Deal for the Woman Who Did Double the Work

Mothers love a good deal.

So do husbands frantically shopping last minute.
So do children pretending they planned ahead.
And honestly, so should mothers buying gifts for themselves, because waiting around for someone else to get the hint is highly overrated.

This Mother’s Day, Nala Designs is offering a properly good double deal:

•⁠ ⁠One of our classic reversible Maxi Bags
•⁠ ⁠One hand-drawn scarf of your choice( the 6 scarves reserved for this promotion)

All for:

RM300 in Malaysia

The bags are oversized, reversible, practical, and designed to carry absolutely everything life throws at you. The scarves are all hand-drawn and made to add a little beauty to the everyday chaos.

And because we take gifting very seriously, our team will beautifully wrap everything for you in-store.

Plus, every in-store Mother’s Day purchase comes with a complimentary bouquet of flowers (all stores in Malaysia and at Great World in Singapore).

(Online orders sadly cannot include flowers for obvious logistical reasons, but we will still wrap them beautifully for you.)

Available this weekend at all our stores in Singapore and Malaysia, and online while stocks last.

A little gift for mothers.
From everyone else.
Or from themselves.

Your Mum Will Be Happy For Months

This weekend, every purchase comes with a bouquet of fresh flowers for the women we love most.

LISETTE

SHARE

Wrapped in an exclusive paper pattern created especially for Mother’s Day, each bouquet is designed to feel like a small piece of art. Something thoughtful. Something beautiful. Something worth remembering.

Fresh flowers have long been connected to happiness, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. Studies show they can instantly lift moods, reduce stress, and bring warmth into a home. Sometimes the smallest gesture leaves the biggest impression.

At Nala, flowers have always been part of our universe. They appear in our patterns, our stories, and in the belief that beauty should live around us every day.

And here’s the beautiful part.
Your bouquet may last for months.

A little flower secret from us: trim the stems slightly and refresh the water every two or three days. The greens will stay beautiful for a very long time, becoming a quiet reminder of Mother’s Day long after the weekend is over.

Available this weekend at all NALA stores in Malaysia and at our Great World store in Singapore.

30 feels like a sweet spot. Not too much, not too little. Just right.

This is where everything comes together. Maxi bags, totes, pouches, pieces that carry your day and move easily from bed to bag to table.

If you feel like going a little further, you can. Match your pouch to your bag, your bag to your table runner, your table to your mood. It is practical, but it also makes you smile.

Save the Date! Wabi-Sabi Pattern Making Workshop, Singapore.

Save the Date
Wabi-Sabi Pattern Making Workshop, Singapore.

This May, I’ll be in Singapore, and for the first time, I’m opening up a small workshop at Tanglin.
It’s an intimate session, about two and a half hours, where we go back to the beginning. No screens, no perfection, no pressure. Just paper, pen, and the process of creating something from scratch.

LISETTE

SHARE

The workshop is built around the idea of Wabi-Sabi. Not perfect patterns, but honest ones. Patterns that come from instinct, from repetition, from small “mistakes” that turn into something unexpectedly beautiful. I’ll guide you through how I approach pattern making, how I start, how I build, and how I repeat. You’ll leave with your own designs, and more importantly, a way of thinking about pattern that you can carry with you.
This is not a technical class. It’s a creative reset.
