Surprise success!

Bi Lin's Birthday surprise was a success! Came up with plans that do not make any sense at all just so that she can leave the store on time. While she was complaining that she had to fetch one of her friend from Wheelock due to his injured ankle, we sneaked up to the store and decorated it. Even the designers from Vietnam flew down just for her!

Her reaction and expression were priceless! Initially she thought that Wennie had left the store without informing her and when we all came out from the fitting room, she then realized what actually was happening. She kept asking us why no one told her about this?! It wouldn't be a surprise already Bi Lin hahaha.






Stay crazy and fun as always! Thank you for all your contribution to The 1 Jia and to team 1 Jia. Even though we do not show it, but we love you from the bottom of our heart! YAY!

Golden Jubilee

It is true that there is no place like Home.

We have so many things to be grateful for, from having the safest environment to live in, having roofs over our heads, to having clean streets and drinking water, to be able to travel to most of the countries without needing to apply for visa, one of the top education, strong currency and many more.

Singapore has grown so much from a small fishing port to where we are now, one of the top countries in the world. All thanks to the great leadership of Mr Lee Kuan Yew and the rest of the pioneer leaders.


Thank you for everything, we are proud to be a Singaporean. 
Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!

With much love,
Team 1 Jia.

Carousell @the1jia

Hola!

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been a really busy week for all of us and it's gonna be busier. Just so you know, we have a carousell account! Which means that you can purchase our items anytime and anywhere *pops champagne* We have our casual line, bags and accessories up on the account with all the needed measurements (see we're so thoughtful ok!) It is a plus point that we have an actual store for you to visit and get a better look and feel of the clothes :)

Here's some items that we have on our carousell...

Every woman needs a statement hand bag. This has a inner smaller bag that comes with a detachable strap that can turn it into a sling bag. Also, there are many compartments that allows you to keep your items organised!


I love these minimalist transparent clutch so much!

Happy Birthday Wennie!

Hope you had a splendid weekend! On Saturday, Bi Lin threw a gathering for the team of 1 Jia over at her place. At the same time, we had a mini birthday celebration for Wennie! 



Hello Wennie, if you're reading this... Hope you like the cake and enjoyed yourself as much as we did! Happy birthday to you once again :)

Oh yes before I forget, we have our name tags made. It is so much easier for all of you to identify who is assisting you in the store. 


Do say hi to us alright! It'll totally brighten up our day!

It's all about that Red

As you all know the top 5 hottest colours for this season are red, blue, green, yellow and pink. 

Out of the 5 colours, my favorite is...*drumrolls*... RED! It's fierce yet not aggressive to the extend of scaring people away haha. Just look at Gamme Rouge Moncler version to catch the sophisticated and romantic side of it. 

The 1 Jia has brought in few bags that are suitable for ladies all ages. From casual sling bag to clutch to big hangbags. 

This classic blood red sling bag that comes with a detachable strap which allows you to transform it into a hand-held clutch! 

Perfect for a day out running errands and an evening date. Pair it with a little black dress and you're ready to go. Oh! Don't ever forget your red lipstick for a little spice *winks. Yes, I heard you. We do have the safer colours of bags in store for you too. 

Anyhow, here's a sneak peak of our next collection! I am soooooooo digging this dress!


We cannot wait for the new collection that is coming your way this end July-August! Stay tune to our Facebook and Instagram for more updates. Like our page if you haven't done so https://www.facebook.com/the1jia. Thank you!

Signing off, 
Weiteng, xoxo.

High-waist Shorts to wear this Summer!

It is the summer season now but I know, its summer all year round in Singapore. That is why we have even better excuse to dress up with the latest trend rather than those normal flip flops, boring denim shorts and what-not. Of course, most Singaporeans dare not come out of their comfort zone and dare not part with their beloved shorts. 

So let me show you a few high-waist shorts that you can pull off this Summer. Trendy yet still in your comfort zone, why not? The flattering cut is a spring/summer staple all season long!

Save the trouble! We have sourced a few fashion websites just for you.









Simple yet classy! These are some that you can wear it to a half-day work and also a casual day out. Oh dear, I'm so loving the two-tone shorts! How about you?

Pop-up rack!

Goooooood Monday afternoon!

How was weekend for you? Mine was pretty fun and awesome! A yearly music festival, Baybeats Singapore 2015, happened over the weekend from Friday to Sunday showcasing local and Asia's talent with different music genre. Without fail, the bands were so good and talented! So proud of my friends from Exhibitors who manage to pass the audition and to be able to play on the huge stage. Ended each night with some drinks at South Coast bar located at MBS. It's the only time of the year that we get to see everyone who shares the same interest, it feels like as though I'm home.

Just like what The 1 Jia is selling; a sense of home for our customers and a lifestyle. We promise to provide the best for every customer. That is why...we set up a pop-up rack that sells more casual clothing that are suitable for work or even a date! Of course, it'll be at a lower price.

We will be constantly changing the items on the rack based on the different themes. So do stay tune or just drop by the store to check them out!

The 1 Jia has another awesome gift for everyone! We think of our customers so often that we are always coming up with promotions so that you all can enjoy shopping with us.

Well, hello!

Hello everyone! We will be updating this space quite often with our gowns, dresses, lifestyles and what not.

But first, let me introduce to you what is The 1 Jia all about! We design and manufacture our own dresses and gowns. Our boss, Bi Lin (who is also pretty & single) started this brand last year with her passion for fashion as well as wanting to provide a lifestyle for everyone. She handles the paper owrk and also comes up with sketches and together with designer, Khanh, they will produce the final design that will be sold in our store. At times they will go a littttleeeeeeee out of their mind because it's not as easy as it seems to come up with designs and producing them. But its all worth it when we see how satisfied our customers are :)

Khanh! She is so damn creative and crazy at the same time haha.

Not forgetting Kim who handles the logistics and operations in the studio. Making sure everything is completed by the due date so we can bring dresses/gowns, etc to the store in time for our customers.

Kim!

 Every details on the dress and gowns are hand sewn. 

We do also provide made to measure or modification of our designs to suit our customers need. How thoughtful right! 

Now let me introduce the team behind 1 Jia *throws confetti*

We have Joey who spends most of her time in the store and has been helping Bi Lin since the opening of the store till now. Omg, Joey can be so silly at times and we will always laugh at how clumsy she can be. She knows the store/designs/stocks inside out, so if you have any question, just look for Joey!

Joey!

Next up, Tessa and Megan! They too, help out at the store once/twice a week. Both are so creative and have many ideas up their sleeves. Bi Lin will receive their messages saying they are going to rearrange everything in the store. Tadaaaaaaaaaa! You might be seeing the different layout of the store the next time you visit. I mean, how cool it is to have your boss allowing you to do changes and stuffs to the store right? Megan has a more serious character while Tessa is just outspoken, they have very different characters but fret not, they are very hardworking and eager to serve you! Did i mention that they are very pretty (and young) too? 

Megan (left) & Tessa (right)

As for weekends, Wennie who is one of Bi Lin's friend (such a nice buddy) and sometimes Bi Lin herself will be there to serve our customers personally. They have endless topics to talk about. I believe if you were to join in their conversation, you can spend half a day in the store. We want our customers to feel like they are at home hence one of the vision to our brand name, Jia (mandarin for "home")

Wennie!

And hello everyone, I'm Weiteng working from the office with Bi Lin handling the marketing side for the company. Well, I do not know what's so special about me but I love love love to collect legos! Now you know what to get for my for birthday and Christmas present hehe. I'm also the one who updates our social media, doing photoshoots, coming up with promotions & free gifts (we are willing to do anything for you all okay haha) and assist Bi Lin with whatever that is needed.

Weiteng!

Remember I mentioned earlier about providing a lifestyle. In the near future, we hope to be expanding and provide more to not only the ladies but to everyone. Hope to have all the support from our customers to fulfill our dream :)


Our store is located at #03-92 Far East Plaza, 14 Scotts Road. Here's a photo, so you have no excuse to miss it haha. Just so you know, we are having sales up to 40% off all regular priced for ALL items! Don't forget to drop by and say hiiiiiiiiii!
