‘PERANAKAN STORY’ Silk Scarf
Product Overview: The 'Peranakan Story' silk scarf is a 90cm x 90cm accessory crafted from 100% mulberry silk. It features a contemporary reimagining of symbols found throughout Peranakan culture — reflecting wealth, good fortune and Singapore's rich cultural heritage.
Singapore Designer: Mike Tay
Cultural Inspiration: 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, jewellery and décor. Sifting through old black-and-white Peranakan family photographs, courtesy of the Singapore Peranakan Museum, Onlewo discovered many significant cultural elements — the Kamcheng (covered vessel), Kasut Manek (beaded sandals) and peacock motifs — which were respectfully reimagined in this contemporary pattern. 'Peranakan Story' is an endearing portrait of Singapore's cultural treasure and beauty.
