Designed for Families in Singapore
Every elly print is hand-drawn in house by our design team in Singapore. Our Chinese New Year collection was drawn as a four-seasons series of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and most prints come in baby, kids', ladies' and men's styles, so the whole family can match for reunion dinner and house visits.
We make our pieces for Singapore weather. Most are 100% cotton or our soft jersey with 5% elastane, so they stay comfortable through a long, warm day of visiting. For Disney fans, our Disney | elly designs include Mickey and Disney Princess prints.
