kapok derives from the majestic emergent trees of the same name. The trees grow tall in their ecosystem, branching out to provide a home for plants and animals dependent on nourishment and exposure. kapok also provides a unique roof under which people in the community can meet and find inspiring quality goods concept further extending to Southeast Asia.

Some of the brands available in Singapore includes Commune de Paris 1871 (Men's Label), Mismo (Bags) and Astier De Villatte (Home). However, it was this mesh bracelets and rings from 19-10-88 that caught my eyes. they're so colourful and so easy to match with our daily clothings...
