Nyonya Kain was founded by Dayana Reza at the end of 2018 shortly after a brief visit to Kelantan with her family . She fell in love with the textiles there and decided to bring her favourite pieces back to Kuala Lumpur to sell and spread the love with fellow relatives and friends in the city . This then gave birth to this side business alongside her corporate 9-5 job . As a brief background , the name Nyonya Kain came about with the term ‘ Nyonya ’ as in ‘ young lady / girl ’ and ‘ Kain ’ being our original business model selling textiles and batik products in its original forms . Put them together , it translates into the ‘ Kain Lady ’. Dayana grew up in Melaka and have always been in love with the rich traditions from the Peranakan and Malay Archipelago culture .
As a result of this , she infuses various peranakan textiles and designs into our products and aim to bring back the trend of batik and traditional attires in our modern lifestyle , for both men and women across all ages and backgrounds . Nyonya Kain aims to be a social enterprise , producing various batik fashion wear and collectibles with a chance for our customers to be empowered and be able to give back to the community .
