OUR STORY
Where heritage meets the contemporary woman, each collection is inspired by our wearer. Born from a love for timeless tradition and modern elegance, you’ll find elevated cheongsams that make sartorial staples, striking evening wear and statement pieces that last. Inspired by the grace of the cheongsam and the confident contemporary woman of today, each of our pieces celebrates both the past and the present. We aim to evoke senses, making our wearer feel as good as they look. MANDARIN is for the modern woman who embraces her heritage but isn't afraid to rewrite the rules.
At MANDARIN, we believe that beauty is found in the balance between boldness and subtlety. Our designs fuse classic silhouettes with a fresh, modern twist — perfect for the woman who commands attention with her quiet confidence.
Exquisitely crafted and thoughtfully made, we’re committed to creating pieces that not only honor tradition but also reflect the values of today’s empowered women. Every cheongsam tells a story, and with MANDARIN, it’s your story to tell.
OUR WORLD
Singapore born, and shaped by a cosmopolitan city, MANDARIN is a brand grounded in the celebration of modernity interweaving rich tradition.
We exist at the crossroads of heritage and contemporary design, where each piece tells a story that transcends time.
In a world where fashion often feels fleeting, we embrace timeless elegance that pays homage to the past while looking boldly toward the future. Every design reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, where traditional artistry meets modern aesthetics, creating pieces that resonate with the contemporary woman.
At MANDARIN, we believe that fashion is more than just clothing; it is an extension of one’s identity, a bridge between cultures, and a celebration of individuality. Our mission is to create a community of women who honor their heritage while confidently owning their daily lives, celebrating every facet of who they are.
OUR MUSE
At MANDARIN, we draw profound inspiration from Hong Kong and Chinese film culture, where the art of storytelling is beautifully intertwined with fashion.
One of our muses is the iconic Maggie Cheung in Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love. In this visually stunning film, Maggie's character captivates audiences with her elegance and grace, adorned in exquisite cheongsams that tell a story of their own. Each piece she wears is a reflection of her emotions and the era, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with modern allure.
Cinematic inspiration fuels our philosophy, as we create contemporary interpretations of the cheongsam, empowering the modern woman to embrace her heritage while expressing her style.
