Alvin and Cheri Ong were best friends for ten years before they married in 2007 // all photo by Jennifer Shertzer 

Cheri with no previous sewing background started sewing plush toys with the drawings she made in her childhood days while Alvin wrote stories influenced by people's personalities, interests and experience.  These were projected in these wonderful and appealing cast of characters.  Since then we have expanded into an extensive range of products which include clothing, apparel, toys, bags, accessories and more.

"We wanted to make something real and personal.  We are unique,  we all got stories to tell and that what makes it so special and original".
