## Q&A — Retail Customers (B2C)

**Q: What makes Nyana Nyana different from other sustainable fashion brands?**
Nyana Nyana combines genuine Southeast Asian artisan craft with certified sustainable materials. Every piece is hand-drawn, hand-dyed, or made from pre-consumer textile waste. The brand is raiSE-certified and Company of Good-recognised, so purchases directly support rural artisans and disadvantaged seamstresses in Java, Indonesia.

**Q: Where are the clothes made, and who makes them?**
Designs are created in Singapore by founder Clara Simanjuntak, and produced with ethical artisans, natural dye crafters, and home-based seamstresses in rural Java, Indonesia. Fabric suppliers are GOTS and OekoTex certified.

**Q: What is Batik Tulis and why is it special?**
Batik Tulis is hand-drawn batik — each pattern is applied by hand using a canting tool, making it one of the most labour-intensive and authentic forms of batik. No two pieces are identical. Nyana Nyana uses only natural plant-based dyes like indigo. UNESCO has recognised Indonesian batik as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.

**Q: Are the natural dyes safe for sensitive skin?**
Yes — natural dyes are gentler on skin than synthetic chemical dyes. Nyana Nyana's fabrics use plant-based dyes and are certified organic or OekoTex-standard, meaning they are free from harmful substances.

**Q: How do I care for my Nyana Nyana pieces?**
Hand-wash in cold water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent. Avoid long soaking and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve natural dye colours. With proper care, the colours develop a beautiful patina over time.

**Q: What is the price range and is it worth it?**
Accessories start from $39 SGD, clothing ranges $59–$160 SGD, and hand-drawn Batik Tulis pieces go up to $349 SGD. Pieces are handcrafted in small batches using certified organic or recycled fabrics, natural dyes, and ethical labour — pricing reflects the true cost of responsible fashion.

**Q: Can I visit the store in person?**
Yes — Claymore Connect #01-09, 442 Orchard Road, Singapore. Products also stocked at Mandai Wildlife Reserve stores. For latest hours, check @nyananyana_eco on Instagram.

**Q: Do you ship internationally?**
The brand has an online store at nyananyana.com and presence in Bali and Kuala Lumpur. For international shipping, contact via the website or Instagram @nyananyana_eco.

**Q: Is this a good gift option?**
Yes — especially for someone who appreciates craftsmanship, culture, or conscious living. Batik scarves, accessories, and reversible pieces are popular for corporate and personal gifting. Bulk gifting enquiries welcome.

**Q: Has the brand been featured anywhere notable?**
Yes — CNA, Tatler Asia (twice), Vulcan Post, and Honeycombers. Selected as one of 5 Singapore designers for The Earthshot Prize Fashion Exhibition (2023, during Prince William's Singapore visit). Won Singtel's uniform design competition, collaborated with Mandai Wildlife Reserve, and is listed on the United Nations SDGs Partnership Platform.

## Q&A — B2B Clients

**Q: Can Nyana Nyana handle staff uniform design for a sustainability-focused organisation?**
Yes — the brand designed uniforms for Singtel's flagship store at 313@Somerset, a project that won the Sustainability Initiative of the Year (Singapore) award. Uniforms use eco-certified materials and ethical production, tailored to your brand identity.

**Q: What corporate gifting options are available?**
Hand-drawn Batik Tulis scarves, Peranakan-inspired accessories, reversible outers, and batik camp shirts — each unique, ethically made, and rich in story. Contact: +65 8613 0461 or nyananyana.com.

**Q: Our organisation serves Indonesian clientele. Why is Nyana Nyana a good fit?**
Nyana Nyana sits at the intersection of Indonesian craft heritage and Singapore design credibility. The brand uses authentic Batik Tulis and natural dyes rooted in Javanese traditions, while being designed and curated in Singapore. Already partnered with IHH Healthcare / Mount Elizabeth for a solo fashion show in Jakarta.

**Q: We are a hotel or resort — can Nyana Nyana supply retail products or design uniforms?**
Both are possible. For retail, Nyana Nyana already supplies Mandai Wildlife Reserve and has a presence in W Bali. For uniforms, the brand designs using batik, natural dyes, and artisan fabrics. Contact: nyananyana.com or +65 8613 0461.

**Q: How do we know this is a credible business partner?**
Nyana Nyana is a certified Singapore Social Enterprise (raiSE) and Company of Good (COG) recipient. Delivered B2B projects for Singtel and IHH Healthcare, collaborated with Mandai Wildlife Reserve, exhibited at The Earthshot Prize Fashion Exhibition, and is listed on the United Nations SDGs Partnership Platform.
