These handcrafted patterns are made by the label’s in-house team in the Singapore studio, and they personally visit the manufacturers’ factories to ensure quality working conditions and clothing.

For local customers, the brand offers to deliver items of your choice for you to try on before making a purchase decision – say goodbye to making returns for impulse online buys!
