NALA'S THURSDAY SHOWS

This World Autism Awareness Month, we share a special collaboration between NALA and Adam’s family. A father’s journey, shaped by love, patience, and growth, and Adam, who changed everything. His story reminds us that every autistic child is beautifully unique, just like a ginkgo leaf, perfect in its imperfections. We created the “We Don’t Do Ordinary” Imperfection Ginkgo Collection. Silk screen printed T-shirts and canvas tote bags made from 100% cotton, designed with meaning and intention. 🛍️ Available now in all NALA stores and online 👕 T-shirts RM99 👜 Tote bags RM88 🤝 Part of the proceeds go to NASOM 🚚 Delivery before end of April 🎁 First 200 purchases receive a hand-signed card by Adam. He signed each one himself, which took time and real effort, and that is exactly why it matters. 👉 Purchase now @naladesigns 🔗 Order link in IG Story Highlights In our universe, we do not do ordinary ✨
Not all stories are ordinary, and that is exactly the point 🌿
A year ago, a “what if” birthday idea with E-Lene turned into my first official exhibition, launched last monday at China House, Penang. From painting herbs across Singapore, KL & Penang (yes, sleepless layered nights), to bringing coriander, star anise & curry leaves into bloom with a little Dutch boerenbrons twist. Champagne is popping, and I’m still processing it all.
From idea to opening night
And honestly… we came for cats, we stayed for everything. A resource library, community shelves, a cat shop, the Copycat Café, a cooking school in a traditional Malay house, kids’ art play zone… oh, and 78 cats casually running the place. No big deal. This amazing space is ready to host events, workshops, even book festivals — all to support trap-neuter-release programs. And we’re so happy to share that our Maneki-neko T-shirt campaign raised 29,000 in one year (yes, cat power is real). We’re topping it up to 10,000 more to support animal welfare groups on the island. Also… a brand new cat design is coming soon. Because apparently one cat is never enough.
This week, we met Narelle, the heart behind Lassie in Langkawi
Today, I’m plating, styling, and shooting Grab favourites—turning nasi lemak and pizzas into stars. From props to daylight, every detail matters. Add a hand, a glass, a little mood… and suddenly, it’s a whole story on a plate.
Back at the Polo Club where food meets storytelling.
From chasing waterfalls at Durian Perangin Waterfall (and spotting durian flowers), to cruising past lush greens. We slowed it all down at the dreamy Tanjung Rhu Beach, where time basically said “I’m off today”. And of course, we wrapped it up the best way possible — seafood feast at Pantai Cenang. No ripe durians were harmed (or found) in the making of this trip… but honestly? The views, the vibes, and the food totally made up for it.
Two wheels, zero plans, and a whole lot of island magic
From chasing lemang and serunding at TTDI Ramadan Bazaar to tasting all the classics — pecel sayur, otak-otak, nasi kerabu… we didn’t come to play. Buka puasa is all about gathering, sharing, and breaking fast with the people who matter most. Selamat Hari Raya to everyone!
Rain or shine, Nala is on a mission
For this drop, we took Nala to the streets and let the people decide. From the iconic Bunga Raya to our nostalgic minibus and everyone’s favourite traditional kueh illustrations, we asked strangers to pick their favourite, put it on, and tell us what they think. Silkscreen. Heat transfer. All locally made. All penuh cerita. Wee didn’t just launch T-shirts. We shared a little piece of Malaysia, one design at a time.
16 brand new tees. 100% Malaysian-made. 100% hand-drawn
Proudly made in Malaysia, our latest Raya collection is a love letter to home. From twirl-worthy balloon skirts to Baju Kedah inspired by local blooms like ixora and iris, dreamy kebayas, classic sarongs, and men’s shirts finished with charming coconut buttons. Every piece tells a story. Our family batik motifs weave together Malaysian roots with Dutch and Japanese touches (because heritage is always more beautiful when it’s shared). And yes, even our Raya flower has its own little tale.
Raya, but make it Nala
We had the loveliest visit to the country’s only fully organic, hand-made tofu factory, Ooedo Tofu, run by the amazing Mariko-san. We watched the traditional stone-grinding process, learned how the soybeans are soaked overnight, and followed the beautiful journey from humble beans to fresh, silky soy milk. Pure craft, pure heart. And guess what? Mariko-san will be one of the lovely vendors at LS Do Market happening this Saturday, 28 February from 10am! We’re also beyond excited to launch our new Raya collection — a limited edition, 100% batik production, exclusively sold at Kasturi. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Come spend your Saturday with us at the market, discover beautiful craftsmanship (and delicious tofu!), and be the first to shop our Raya pieces.
From soybeans to soy dreams
