The design is inspired by symbols found in many facets of Peranakan culture. Reflecting wealth and good fortune, these symbols are seen throughout Peranakan history on fabrics, china ware, furniture, jewelry and decor.  As a brand that celebrates meaningful local narratives through patterns and colors, Onlewo draws on rich Peranakan design heritage for this inspiration. Sifting though old black-and-white Peranakan family photographs, courtesy of the Singapore Peranakan Museum, we discovered many significant cultural elements like the Kamcheng (covered vessel), Kasuk Manek (beaded sandals) and peacock motifs, which we respectfully reimagined in this contemporary pattern. ‘Peranakan Story’ is an endearing portrait of Singapore’s cultural treasure and beauty.
