Notes From The Team At Naiise.

This Saturday, we celebrate our nation's 49th birthday! What better time to celebrate all things local and all homegrown makers? (:

We have invited three individuals from different walks of life to select their favourite locally made or designed items, and share with you what this country means to them.

Meet Aun Koh, the face behind Chubby Hubby - one of the world's premier food and travel blogs since 2005. Aun began his career as a journalist and photographer, and now runs a creative lifestyle services group Ate. A seasoned traveller because of his work, Aun shares a little about what he loves about Singapore in the interview below. Hop on over here to check out his top picks.

Never forget to inject fun into work - that is exactly how we roll at Naiise.

Two Saturdays ago, we were down at Singapore Botanic Gardens for a picnic themed photo shoot with the girls from Stitches and Maps, Yun and Shairah. (Oh, we have a little interview with them and you can go read more here.) So when we were in the midst of preparing for the shoot, a wonderful idea lit up the Edison bulb (we prefer Edison bulbs to normal light bulbs because they are way cooler!) in our heads - let's have a picnic together. And we did!

Meet Yun & Shairah - the fun-loving duo behind Stitches and Maps, a lifestyle blog with plenty of do-it-yourself tutorials, travel adventures (both near and far), fashion styles and of course, food. 

Apart from sharing a mad crazy passion for writing, these two best-buds also enjoy having a good gathering of friends, regardless of indoors or outdoors, and often input DIY into their aesthetics. For this curation, they fell in love with our "beautiful range of kitchenware and dining accessories" (that's a direct quote!), and so we put together a small cosy picnic just for them and us. Check out what we did on a hot sunny day at Botanic Gardens (:

It's been a really hectic but exciting week here at Naiise's headquarters (yes, we just shifted to our new office!) with all the stocktaking and preparation for our next pop-up store (more on that later). We try to calm ourselves every now and then with some cool tracks that we have newly discovered.

5,000 Products Sold - Yes, We Did It!

Today marks an important and humbling milestone for Naiise. What began as a journey on my own became a business that is built by customers, community, designers, followers, makers and my very passionate team of staff - all of whom I can’t thank enough.
