hello ronron beginnings
I grew up playing mix and match in my mother's wardrobe, creating outfits from preloved clothing gathered from my siblings. Sharing wasn't merely a habit; it was woven into the very fabric of my being.
My journey began amidst Taiwan's humid climate, then took me through Canada and the UK during my teenage years to early 20s, followed by a period in Malaysia before reaching my 30s.
Each move brought a blend of emotions — saying goodbye to loved ones at the airport, the thrill tinged with uncertainty upon landing in a new place, and the exhilaration of forging connections in unfamiliar cities.
Throughout, my lifelong dream remained steadfast: to create clothing that not only encapsulates cherished memories but also accompanies us on our adventures.

"It's not about the dress you wear, but about the life you lead in the dress." — Diana Vreeland
I envisioned designs fueled by dedication and hard work, brought to life by the women who wear them, leading their lives.
Thus, I began crafting versatile knitwear tailored to the needs of frequent travellers like myself — garments resilient enough for layering in colder climates yet comfortable enough for solo wear in tropical settings, with ample stretch for on-the-go mobility.
It was essential to curate a wardrobe of enduring quality, enriched with personal touches through DIY elements, resonating with individual style.
The outcome? A focus on zero-waste knitwear inspired by my East and Southeast Asian heritage attire, such as the Cheongsam and Kebaya, infused with craftsmanship and authenticity — styles seamlessly melding with the wearer's identity.

The joy of seeing them realized, styled, lived
With hello ronron, I embarked on a journey from the ground up, drawing from my years at London's Central Saint Martins and experiences as a fashion and textile designer, now as an entrepreneur.
This venture is a tribute to our past, a bridge to our future. hello ronron encapsulates the essence of embracing oneself and all that is held dear — to live, to laugh, to learn, to love.
Thank you for being a part of this very special journey with us.
Wishing you all the best,

Our Journey
Malaysia - Singapore - Taiwan - Hong Kong
Beginning
hello ronron was founded in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — a melting pot of cultures closely intertwined. From here, we've been truly blessed to grow hello ronron, spreading joy to incredible customers across Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
We create the designs in-house and produce our products by small batch with our knit specialist factory. We take great care with every detail — from concept, design, sampling, material sourcing, garment production, packaging design, campaign photoshoot, content creations — we are passionate and devoted in what we do, and we will always strive to do better.
A focus on Asian fit
Every Step
We set out to make knitwear designs that highlight and flatter East and Southeast Asian women's figures - designs that elongate the silhouette and accent the body proportions while staying true to our belief - the clothes should always fit comfortably and feel like a second skin.
In a way, that’s how hello ronron came to be - we analyze the cut and sizing tailored to Asian women's physiques, and draw inspiration from the past and present heritage classics like Cheongsam, Kebaya, and Áo dài.
Designed with purpose, crafted with care
