The striking display of cheerful prints in bright and bold colors at <a href="https://naladesigns.com/?DestinAsian">Nala Designs</a> is sure to lift anyone’s mood. Named after the founder’s daughter, this homegrown brand showcases the creativity of locally based Dutch designer Lisette Scheers, who was born in <a href="https://destinasian.com/category/singapore">Singapore</a> and grew up in <a href="https://destinasian.com/category/malaysia">Malaysia</a>. From apparel to homeware, fashion accessories to stationery, her extensive collection of products comes adorned with hand-drawn patterns featuring largely Malaysian and Asian motifs. These reflect a multitude of inspirations—nature, architecture, food, and festivities—and express the country’s multicultural character with 21st-century flair, making for pieces that are both fun and flamboyant. If you’re seeking distinctive and functional items—a vibrant outfit, a standout bag or a playful, decorative accent for the home—Nala Designs is the place. Aside from the Bangsar flagship store, it operates several outlets around the city, including one beside Kuala Lumpur’s historic Central Market. —Angela Goh
