大Pouch (TaPau-ch geddit?)
“Auntie, can add one more dish?”
The 大Pouch is for the people who never stop at one meat, two veg. Same beloved silhouette as our Tapau-ch Card Pouch. Only now scaled up like a generous scoop. Phone, wallet, keys, the lipstick you forgot you owned, the kueh you grabbed at the queue, the small umbrella that lives in your bag year-round. Brown leather, the colour of the tapau paper your favourite cai png or chicken rice comes wrapped in. Two leather bands turn it into crossbody, clutch, or wristlet to switch the look on the day. We made the bag. You make the order.
Co-crafted with our Kawan at Crafune.
Honestly, food tasted better wrapped in brown paper.
Each bag come with a sling and 2 interchangeable leather straps. A zipper compartment and magnetic closure.
You can also use the straps as bracelet.
Made with full-grain cow hide.
Da Xiao Ren is a Cantonese folk ritual for driving away xiao ren (小人), the “petty people” in one’s life: backstabbers, gossips, rivals, or anyone bringing bad luck or obstruction. It comes from southern Chinese folk religion and is most closely associated with Hong Kong.
However, you can find them in Singapore too. You can older folks providing these therapeutic experiences at Waterloo Street or 四马路.
The ritual usually have the client to write the name, birth details, or just a description of target on a paper figure. The practitioner then beats the figure hard with an old shoe while chanting rhythmic Cantonese curses and blessings.
This is beautiful traditional form of catharsis.
Whenever this person gets on your nerve, take the clog. Get ready and prepare the swear words in your head. It's okay to be vulgar and release the frustration.
Hit it harder than you play Bishi Bashi. Curse as if you are Eminem.
