Scoring major points for hip factor is Cavalier, a newly launched local label for kids. Started by husband-wife team, Perry Lam and Angela Chong, Cavalier offers edgy, street wear-inspired apparel with a cheeky twist: think a little black dress with hand appliquéd pockets, hooded t-shirts to be worn over the head, and adorable onesies with tongue-in-cheek slogans.

New Swimwear for Kids: Frolik
For quality kids bathers in a place where the sun shines all year around, we’re loving the newly launched swimwear label, Frolik. Founded by go-getting mumpreneur Andrea Liu, the selection of one-piece swimsuits, bikini bottoms, rash vests, and swim shorts for girls and boys is fun, stylish, and practical too – each piece is made from UPF 50+ fabric, which blocks out 97% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. Also in the works is a line of adult swimwear for Mum and Dad – you’ll want to keep a lookout for that.
