Home Decor featuring Singapore’s Onlewo Collection

In the second episode of Chic In The City, Malaysian TV presenter and influencer Amanda Chaang sat down with Co-founder Mike Tay. He shared about the brand's new collections, including the 'Dazzling Singapore' Silk Scarf inspired by native plants and architecture in Singapore and the 'Peranakan Shoes' clutch bag that highlights the charms of Peranakan art and heritage.

"It's a modern twist to a traditional print. And what I love is how Onlewo also evolves with Singapore, it reflects in the designs, and I think that's cool," said Amanda Chaang. Through their contemporary rendition of heritage, places and culture in Singapore and Asia, Onlewo hopes to connect people and memories, enliven conversations and ignite new passions.

Your home becomes more personal when you adorn it with collectable pieces that hold memories or present a good deed that you do. And if you are supporting a cause, that home piece can become even more meaningful and encourage you or your family to do more good in life.

The Animal Project (TAP) is a social enterprise that aims to spotlight quality lifestyle products using beautiful artwork drawn by persons on a spectrum. In this episode, Amanda also met Founder Roland Teh, also known as Uncle Teh, who showcased TAP's range of home goods, including bags, milk jugs, and clothing with animals as the central theme.
