OUR PHILOSOPHY
INSPIRED DESIGN
Ninety nine percent inspiration
We are design led & product focused. Rather than force-fitting ideas & concepts into multi-piece collections, we create & evaluate every design for its own merit. In doing so, we measure the value that it would offer you, in terms of functionality, versatility & of course, its appeal. We design pieces to look cohesive with your wardrobe, rather than have them just blend in nicely with our collection display.
AUTHENTIC STYLE
A breath of fresh air
We find enormous delight in discovery. The exhilaration of discovering something novel is truly unmatched! This very emotion forms the cornerstone of our design process. We take pleasure in creating refreshingly original pieces that are free from the confines of short-lived trends. We design products that stay fresh & relevant long after trends have lived out their brief lifecycles.
INNOVATIVE CRAFT
Reinventing the wheel
'What's new ?' is a question we keep asking ourselves.
We have this constant, burning passion to innovate. It is at the heart of what we do. Whether we're putting our own unique spin on the design of a quintessential wardrobe staple, or are sampling unconventional crafting techniques & production processes, it is the quest for innovation that truly drives us to do what we do.
OUR FOUNDER
Put a face to the name.
KANYEKA, the brand was conceived out of Kanchan's passion for design & craft.
Although an apparel designer by qualification, she's always found accessory & product design to be her true calling.
In the years leading up to the birth of the brand, she cut her teeth in accessory design while creating fine jewellery pieces, commissioned by friends & family.
Kanchan was born and raised in India and has lived in Hong Kong and now Singapore, together for over fifteen years.
Along the way, she's amassed a home full of beautiful possessions, a treasure trove of rich experiences, a hoard of happy memories and, a mind brimming with ideas.
Having been inspired by visual stories of travel, history & culture, art & crafts, and her passion for home decor, interiors and lifestyle, she translates her inspiration into refreshingly original designs...
Stunning pieces that are sure to far outlive the fleeting life-spans of ever changing fashions and trends.
The name KANYEKA, which is a portmanteau of Kānchan's complete maiden name, means 'virgin' in Sanskrit and embodies all that is graceful and feminine.
