Our Story

Behind FERN

"We are a design house formed to celebrate and rediscover the aesthetic elegance of the ancient fabric art-form, Batik."

Founded by Fern Chua (2015), the winner of the Fashion Pitch 2013 by MyCreative Ventures in Malaysia, the label is known for its distinguished one-of-a-kind creations, infused with a contemporary feel for its Malaysian heritage.

With a clear sense of design skewed towards simple, versatile, and effortlessly elegant lifestyle resortwear, the pieces are luxurious to touch and uniquely handcrafted by in-house artisans using only the finest all natural materials.

Since the inception of the label, the designer has come up with eight key collections all inspired by nature, each series representing an element that echoes to the creative.

"To experience and become a part of nature during my travel inspires every series I create."
– Fern Chua, Founder & Creative Director

Under the new roof of its first flagship store (2019), the Malaysian luxury resortwear has recently expanded its fashion label into an artisanal collective, where artisans from across the globe are invited to bring ethical bespoke lifestyle goods under three categories – home, jewellery, and accessories.
