1. The Analog Company
Starting the list off strong, The Analog Company is a homegrown Singaporean bag brand dedicated to creating functional pieces to complement your everyday life. From backpacks, and totes to mini sidekicks, they are designed with utility in mind. Each bag is fitted with thoughtful features such as a drink holder, a carabiner and an adjustable, detachable strap to allow the bag to be worn in multiple ways. However, by no means boring, these pieces are imbued with an element of whimsy, with the bags coming in pleasing-to-the-eye pastel colour blockings available in a myriad of colour ways. Accessories such as hand-made Bobbins, pins and iron-on patches can also be purchased separately, allowing you to customise your bag and express your individuality. All products are designed and produced in small batches, meaning that quality is never skimmed on. With The Analog Company, every product and feature is a manifestation of the consideration its owner has for the needs of the consumer.

2. Sevieyanashoes
As the first and only Indonesian shoe brand to bless your soles with cloud foam technology, Sevieyananashoes combines comfort and chic that will carry you from day to night. Featuring effortless and trendy designs that range from ballet flats to office-chic heels, we are pretty sure there is something for everyone. The brand’s story began when the owner realised that it was hard to find shoes her size, often having to pre-order specific sizes to meet her needs. This inspired her to start the brand, as she figured that many others must have had similar experiences and she could help make custom sizing more accessible. Now every pair of shoes sold on their website allows for the option of customisation, with sizes ranging from 34-44 EU. Their distinctive features have set them apart, garnering success across borders as evidenced by their collaboration with Singaporean brand The Tinsel Rack.
