Chinese New Year is all about spending time with your loved ones and celebrating the start of a new year. Toddley Thoughts is a local family label that is known for their story-driven collections. Gallop into the Year of the Horse with your family dressed in Toddley Thoughts’ modern, matching family sets. Everything is crafted with premium linen and cotton fabric, so you can rest assured that everyone will feel cool and comfortable, even when you’re out and about visiting your loved ones.

We especially love that each print is exclusively hand-designed in-house, making each piece unique. Look forward to playful prints that celebrate Singapore’s culture, nature and nostalgia.  Designed to last, their timeless silhouettes can be worn for other special occasions throughout the year. Whether you’re looking for a men’s Mandarin Collar Shirt or a sweet kids’ cheongsam for your little one, there is something for everyone!

All of Toddley Thoughts collections are released in small, exclusive drops, so you’ll be one of the few to own a piece that sells out quickly! They even have outfits for little ones as young as 6 months, so even the littlest ones can join in the fun. Perfect for family portraits or your upcoming reunion dinner, the modern pieces at Toddley Thoughts might be just what you need!

It’s no secret that the most value-for-money shopping happens in Malaysia! That’s why we had to mention Doublewoot, an online Malaysian retailer that creates gorgeous (and affordable!) cheongsams, Chinese traditional costumes, qipaos and more. Sadly, they don’t have a range for the hubs and your little ones, but at least mama can look her best at the next reunion dinner! They ship to Singapore, but be sure to order in advance so your cheongsam arrives on time.
