Anita of Journey East, Singapore
"The philosophy of the yoko illustration (don't be afraid of what you don't know) has guided me from the time our family moved from Madagascar to Vancouver and now to Singapore where I explore South East Asia."
"Journey East was born in 1995, 5 years after I had landed in Singapore. The shop was a result of a belief that the vintage furniture we saw in Asia could be restored to its original beauty for generations to come. We also met young talented designers with visions of their own, and our collections diversified to include new furniture brands and home accessories. We were able to represent these new designers in our shop, and thus evolved Journey East into a multibrand store."
Petra of Petra König, Austria
"I recognize myself in eye rolling eve as I'm a very down-to-earth person and I don't really like it when people are whining and complaining."
"My shop was born in 2016. The goal was to create something different in this small town, my shop is like a cozy living room. The most important thing for me is to follow your gut feeling and to know what you want."

Amy of The Modu Shop, Luxemburg
"My new favorite porcelain cup is peace girl. I love her body type and the positive message. We all need more peace, now even more than ever."
"I don't want to sound too cliche but really, my mom is my role model. I am the woman I am today because of her never-ending support, wisdom and strength. From an earlier age, she encouraged me to pursue my passions and be an independent woman, which was not as common back in the day for Asian women."
"The Modu Shop started in December 2017. I had always wanted to be a social entrepreneur and my unexpected move to Luxembourg finally gave me the time to start this new venture. My goal was to bring stylish conscious fashion, accessories, home and lifestyle products from all over the world into one shop. Modu means All in Korean and I thought the name was perfect for the vision - that we are all connected through our actions including the act of purchase of products that help others and the environment."

Sanni & Renate of Quartier172, Duitsland
"The porcelain cup bye bye girl reminds us of the last 2 years.We have opened up our store 2 weeks before the first lock down in Germany. Nobody really knew about us but we're so thankful for all the support we've got."
"As you can see, we like Frida Kahlo. But we also love all the women who's cups are half full, who don’t give up even when struggling, who would find a solution -or if not who at least have tried. We all know that it is not easy at all to fulfill all roles at one time: being a mother, a wife, a girlfriend, an entrepreneur. But we are stronger than we think.
