Hi there, so glad you decided to pop by at our site!
A little about us …
I WANT THAT was set up in May 2007 by a bunch of friends, each with our own little gifts and talents and coming together in the spirit of friendship and entrepreneurship.
We love people, animals, flowers, bags, clothes, the sun and sea, books, chocolate ice cream, kindness and all things good that life has to offer.
I WANT THAT is about the fulfilling of little ideals that we have inside of us. It’s about finding something that connects with our inner longings, deciding that we want it bad enough and taking action.
It can be for a cause, an aspiration, a desire or for one of our gorgeous bags!
We want to inspire, encourage and enliven. We believe in a life well-lived, bringing out the best in ourselves and in others and making this place that little bit better because of the good that we do.
In our own little way, we hope to bring that to you too.
The golden rule …
We live by the golden rule. Do to others what you want others to do to you.
We don’t like bad products or bad service, so we hope to do the same for our customers. We can’t promise that we can do all things right all the time, but we will definitely try our very best to make our customers happy.
About our business …
Our designs are quirky and happy. We see our products as being an added part of our customer’s already full and interesting life.
We imagine our customer smiling as they browse through our site, going shopping with our bags with a happy smirk on their face, wearing our bikinis and having a wonderful day of sunshine, relaxing at home to a book in our comfy sleepwear and hugging one of our perky little cushions.
We do not limit ourselves to just specific types of products because we believe that creativity should not be contained and we want to be able to bring new things to our customers all the time.
Friends of IWT
It’s a big, big world and we know there is more to life than the things we can buy and own, so we try to do a little more by bringing in causes and programs that might interest.
“Friends of IWT” is a free service we hope to use to help us highlight certain organizations with distinctive causes that we feel our customers might be interested to know more about.
Do check out “Friends of IWT” section, we will constantly be on the lookout for things that will inspire, encourage and enliven. And if you know of anything, do contact us, we will see what we can do to spread the word.
About our creations …
We love vintage prints, cute appliqués, buttons, trims, beads, and all things fabric and craft.
Our raw materials come from many places in the world, from Singapore, Southeast Asia, the US. We use all these lovely material to create our own style of fashion and lifestyle items.
Our bags, clutches, sleepwear, home-ware are created and produced in Singapore. Some of these items are made by the designers themselves, whilst others are outsourced to local seamstresses (a really great bunch of ladies btw).
We will continue to expand on our range of products and bring in new ideas and items. We want room to explore and bring our creative ideas into reality.
Each of our items is special to us. We don’t do many piece of each of our design and we try not to repeat our designs again just so that they will remain special. It also keeps our ideas fresh.
Do check out our Xtras section as we sell some of our imported raw materials such as fabrics, buttons and other craft items as an added service to our customers.
Meet the team…
What you see on our site today is the wonderful collaboration of teamwork.
We have as much airy-fairy as we do steel concrete. Our team is a wonder match of distinctive personalities, each with our own little gifts and talents which complimented each other and somehow made things possible.
Jessica Ang
Creator of Bunny Tales
A vivacious character packed to the rim with quirkiness and creative talent, her creative styles are often recognized by the bold infusion of bright colors and delightful illustrations. Jessica love craftwork and DIY projects and has an amazing ability to make even the simplest materials come to live with her quirky, lively styles. We have done our fair share of joyous back-flips whenever we receive one of her creative gifts, so we’ve decided the rest of world should join us in our acrobatic feat.
Lynn Lim
Creator of Chickery Dots
Known lovingly as “Chicken” to many of her close friends, Lynn exudes love, warmth and nurture-nature. A warm and loving character, Lynn’s style is often recognized by its subtlety and its ability to inspire vision of sweetness and soft femininity. Her designs may seem soft but it’s packed with her own distinctive little creative chickery pecks. A sharp eye for details, colors and subtleness, her minimalist designs often speaks volumes.
Clara Loh / Kelly Tang
Creators of SunBloom and the people who do the serious business stuff.
In addition to our involvement in the serious stuff of the business (management, sales and marketing and operation), we didn’t want to be left out on the fun.
The Sunbloom label is created by Clara and Kelly. It is a collaboration of our love for happy and pretty things. Our creations are a reflection of who are, two distinctively different characters (who hated each other’s guts initially) but strangely our difference in tastes and views complimented each other to create this little style of our own.
