I have always loved Milan because, in many ways, it reminds me of KL. It is a city that is slightly chaotic and a little messy in the best possible way. You need to know where to go. You need to know which streets matter, which restaurants are worth returning to, and which ones you quietly forget. It is a city learned through trial and error.

Friendships matter there. Food matters even more. The food is incredible. And once you understand the rhythm, everything clicks. Milan is not polished in an obvious way. It is ad hoc, layered, and alive. Apart from the fact that you can walk everywhere, it has the same big city energy that makes KL feel so real to me. I feel like a fish in water there. After my travel ban(self imposed), I cannot wait to go back.

Palm Patio was inspired by a hidden Airbnb apartment courtyard in Milan, filled with tall palm trees and soft light. Sitting on the terrace, eating my pineapple bars, which truly deserve a comeback, I found myself just looking up. That moment became the print.

The lines hint at Art Deco Miami, with its optimistic curves and sun soaked attitude. But the soul of the print is Milan. Observant, relaxed, and quietly confident.

Palm Patio is a classic. At first glance, it might look like it does not match anything. In reality, it matches everything. The pink and blue palette works effortlessly, which is why this print remains beautifully underrated.

Finished with real leather piping, the bags are designed to be lived with. And if you want to carry a little bit of Milan and Miami with you, without leaving Kuala Lumpur, this is it.

Palm Patio bags are currently available at 50% off in all stores and online. Sometimes the best journeys are the ones you do not need a plane for.
