In September 2009 Sereni Linggi and Shentel Lee accidently started a headband business. With zero experience, these two best friends created a brand that was a self expression of their love for all things that ignited passion and humour. With a plan to do what they want whenever they want they forged a path from their tiny city in Kuching that lead them all the way to the New York city. Ten years on and the girls are still creating every day while still keeping their day jobs. The struggle is real but these two wouldn’t have it any other way.
