The Packaging
________________________________________
Painstakingly hand-painted, Rama Rama’s packaging is adorned with these printed motifs
inspired by the Peranakan culture.
The term ‘butterfly’ is expressed in both Mandarin and Malay to reflect the fusion of the 2 cultures together and this is put across strongly through the frontal font located in the centre of the cover; bring across the idea clearly to the viewer.
Underneath the cover, lies the story behind the birth of Rama Rama. From the designer to you, it is almost akin to leaving a note behind which adds a personal touch to the package.
Finally, in the centre of the package lies a soft cushion lined with lush velvet. This holds the Rama Rama necklace piece, presenting it to the viewer with subtle extravagance.
The Necklace Piece
________________________________________
The Rama Rama necklace is designed based from inspirations stemming from Chinese traditional motifs and the Malay traditional Batik prints. Both formed a rich pool of inspiration, from which,
gave birth to Rama Rama.
The exxagerated curls and extensions symbolize energy like motifs in the Chinese culture. It is to represent and signify the coming together of 2 rich cultures to form this new, energetic and
colourful Peranakan culture.
