Adeline Teo, the eldest daughter of Businesswoman Angela Ng, shares her mother’s passion for all things beautiful. The pair talks to Terence Lim about Louis Vuitton’s Agrafe Bracelet, an Heirloom Piece Angela recently acquired with Adeline in mind
Growing up, Adeline Teo found it hard to connect with her mother. For one, Angela Ng was very strict, especially during Adeline’s early teenage years. Like most parents, she feared that her eldest daughter might fall into bad company and make the wrong decisions in life. The fact that Angela was busy running her various businesses, including a beauty salon, didn’t help either. Hence, the time spent together was precious and largely restricted to family dinners at home.
“Now that I’m older, my mum is so much more relaxed because she knows that I can make better judgement,” says Adeline, a marketing undergraduate at RMIT University. “Now, I can tell her things without worrying about getting into trouble. We are more like friends.” Angela concurs, “We can talk about anything under the stars.”
Their close-knit relationship is further strengthened by a shared love for jewellery. Whether it is a formal party or a casual gathering, the mother-daughter pair never fails to adorn their outfits with a dash of bling for that extra panache.
