Step into the cozy embrace of Dressing Paula’s first Home Collection, featuring local female artist Miriam Omar and her detailed artwork. ​​”Malaysiana" by Miriam Omar, reimagines the chinoiserie print in a way that resonates with Malaysia's rich cultural tapestry.

The artwork seamlessly weaves Malaysian landmarks and natural elements, inviting viewers to embrace the nation's unique identity. It pays homage to the wealth of Malaysian culture, its diverse nature, and its vibrant communities.

Using the renowned chinoiserie blue palette, delicate watercolour shades, acrylic accents, and pencil lines, this piece was painstakingly hand-drawn before being transferred onto fabric, resulting in a labour of love and a celebration of Malaysia's heritage.

Her personal stories and journey were carefully translated onto beautiful printed cotton and linen blend tableware which includes table cloth, table runner, table mats and napkins to cushion covers.
