Nas Daily’s Girlfriend Wears Batik Top Made By S’pore Company
As far as fabric designs are concerned, nothing screams “Singapore” more than the Batik uniform worn by air stewardess from the Singapore Airlines (SIA).
Recently, Nas Daily’s girlfriend, Alyne Tamir, was seen in a top with prints resembling the iconic dress donned by our Singapore Girl.
Needless to say, she was in love with the top and confessed it on her Instagram post:
me gusta mucho.
Singapore shop tailors Batik clothing
Turns out, the eye-catching top was made by a homegrown company named Makerly SG, which specialises in tailoring Batik clothing.
As National Day approaches, Makerly SG launched a uniquely Singaporean collection aptly named Singapore Special series.
Most people may associate Batik designs with traditional clothing like sarongs and kebayas. But Makerly SG broke this stereotype by incorporating Batik designs into modern wear like cropped and ribbon tie-back tops.
The collection was extremely popular and reportedly sold out within just 10 minutes of its launch.
In addition to the apparel, the homegrown brand also launched batik-inspired statement earrings as part of the collection.
Ms Tamir isn’t the only one who’s a fan of the collection. Other influencers like Brenda Tan, as well as Martina Veloso – Singapore Sportsgirl of the Year – also donned apparel from the collection.
Batik apparel from $47
If you’re a fan of the Batik apparels above, check out the full collection on their website here.
Batik apparel are available from $47 each and are 100% handmade here in Singapore.
We are heartened that local designers such as Makerly SG are incorporating iconic Batik design into their modern creations.
Let’s hope others will so follow suit which will help to preserve this ancient and representative design.
