Pawtraits of Chinatown
If the streets of Chinatown could talk, they would have plenty of stories to tell...and perhaps, no one knows these streets better than the cats that wander through them. Inspired by these little furry residents, we imagined them stepping into the shoes of Chinatown's past. From hardworking Samsui woman and letter writer to lively lion dancer and opera singer, each cat tells a story of the people and traditions that shaped this neighbourhood. Chinatown is also where Yong-en Care Centre’s story began 30 years ago. To celebrate this milestone, we created this collection as a tribute to the community Yong-en has cared for over the years. From November 2026 to January 2027, 20% of sales from this collection will go towards supporting Yong-en’s work in Chinatown and beyond.

Care Instruction
Care InstructionRESIN: To clean, gently wipe the item with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
Store the item in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause a yellow hue to develop, especially on lighter colors.
Over time, the resin may appear to "dry" and fine lines may appear on the surface. If this happens, apply a small amount of oil (we recommend using baby oil) to the piece and gently wipe it with a soft cloth. This will rejuvenate the item's surface.
Remember to always handle the item with care and follow these instructions to maintain its beauty and longevity.
Wood: Avoid exposing the wood jewelry to excessive moisture. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or engaging in activities that may cause excessive sweating.
Clean the wood jewelry gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the coloured surface.
Store the wood jewelry in a cool, dry place, ideally in a jewelry box or pouch, to protect it from scratches or other damage. Keep it separate from other jewelry to prevent tangling or rubbing against harder materials.
