International Women’s Day: A Homage to our Femalepreneurs (Part 1/2)

Naiise_International Women's Day_2022

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on 8th of March. Coincidentally, it is the 111th year of celebration this year. Paying homage to women, it celebrates the journey and achievements of women in modern society. From politics and economics to entrepreneurship, women's representation has shifted beyond being just a supporting role in these ecosystems. IWD is also observed in support of taking action against gender inequality around the world. 

In this 2 part editorial, we feature snippets of 5 femalepreneurs and the motivations behind the brand that they represent. From not-for-profit social enterprises and sustainable living brands to exquisite jewellery pieces design-inspired by people and modern work life, each has a different story.

Paperdaise

[ Fashion Accessories ]

Naiise_Coconut Pins_Paperdaise

Paperdaise Accessories was first established in 2014 as a hobby; an idea by its founder, an architect by training. It started out as an exploration and experimental project to create different accessories to suit her ever-changing wardrobe. She was in search for accessories that could be both versatile and specific for any occasion. Soon she realized that she could extent her handcrafted accessories to everyone, who love accessories which are unique and personalised.

This exploration escalated into other ideas, and her architect husband joining her, in her journey to offer unique fashion accessories to consumers. As ideas evolved, they developed a parallel accessory range made out of wood - an uncommon material for women's fashion. “We like wood because it defies theory! Why should all  women's accessories be made of metal?” - Paperdaise. The sustainable range carved out of sustainable wood was born. Designs include ArtScience Museum Wood Pendant Necklace, Diamond Laser Cut Wood Earrings and Singapore Merlion Scales Wood Pendant Necklace.

Paperdaise has also since launched a complementing accessory range Happy Pins and includes quirky designs such as I Love You Like Bubble Tea Enamel Pin
