Singapore Inspired!

Peranakan pieces

Photo Phactory was born out of a deep-seated desire to honour Singapore’s rich cultural heritage – a vision beautifully realised by founder Valley Arora. You can embrace this rich heritage with the brand’s Peranakanstyle trays and coasters. Inspired by the vivid patterns of Peranakan tiles, the architectural elegance of shophouse windows and the captivating charm of Singapore’s back alleys, the trays and coasters come gorgeously gift-boxed.

Photo Phactory has also introduced “Singapore Girl ”inspired tea towels. These towels embody the poise, hospitality and iconic elegance associated with the Singapore Girl, adorned with the distinctive elegance of the sarong kebaya and enriched with Peranakan motifs. They’ll bring a refined touch to your home or as considerate gifts, weaving the essence of Singapore’s heritage into the fabric of everyday life.
