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.
