ABOUT THE BRAND

Maneknya is rooted in heritage and handmade with heart. Founded by sister duo Swee Lin and Swee May, the brand is named in honour of their beloved grandmother, who taught them the intricate art of Peranakan beadwork. “Manek” means bead, and “Nya” means mother, a nod to the maternal warmth and cultural legacy behind every stitch. By blending age-old craftsmanship with modern design, Maneknya creates wearable art that celebrates identity, memory and sustainability.  

10% from products sold at The Social Space supports Kelab Serumpun, a women led organisation that does training within the community in Selangor area in Malaysia.
