Quench your thirst for discovery with these hand-picked brands from Singapore&rsquo;s Made With Passion campaign.

Singapore has long been a cultural mecca, a melting pot of artists, designers, and passionate brands with a story to tell. A visit to the Lion City wouldn&rsquo;t be complete without discovering a new favorite homegrown brand &mdash; whether it&rsquo;s fashion, jewelry, wellness products, and even homeware and furniture, Singapore always has an offering up its sleeve.
There&rsquo;s a certain passion imbued within each brand that emerges from the city-state, carrying with it a sense of innovation and deep roots to the country&rsquo;s rich and unique heritage. The country&rsquo;s campaign Made With Passion celebrates just that, while taking us on the same journey of discovery we&rsquo;ve come to love about Singapore.
Now, until we can travel and pack an extra suitcase again, here are nine Singaporean brands worth the short wait for shipping.

Clothes serve as a canvas for artist and designer Li Ying, who paints watercolor renders of flora and fauna and prints them onto dresses, kimonos, and streamlined separates. Apart from breaking the traditional boundaries of art, Ying the Label&rsquo;s ethos includes forging meaningful collaborations with their fellow local brands.

Hailing from Singapore and Israel, Ginlee Studio founders Gin Lee and Tamir Niv have a universal understanding of what makes a wardrobe mainstay. Pleats take centerstage in dresses, jumpsuits, and separates, and even bags, all cut in classic, flattering silhouettes for everyday wear.

Having the distinction of being the first local Singaporean brand to be stocked by Net-A-Porter and being worn by the likes of Michelle Obama and Nicole Kidman is no easy feat. But State Property and its founders Afzal Imram and Lin Ruiyin work painstakingly to create contemporary fine jewelry worthy of the recognition they get: artisan-crafted, gemstone-driven pieces to last you a lifetime.

Sculptures take the form of functional carriers in the work of bag brand Lingwu, all made with top-notch materials and craftsmanship for the discerning eye. Founded by Goh Ling Ling, Lingwu straddles the line between understated and eye-catching bags for all occasions.&nbsp;

Pottery is a laborious and time-consuming hobby, but to turn it into your passion and life&rsquo;s work is a whole other story. For founder and &ldquo;super mama&rdquo; Mei Ling and her husband Edwin, their success involved many a sacrifice, including selling their home to jumpstart their business. But today, Supermama is a beacon within Singapore&rsquo;s design scene, creating pottery and porcelain worthy of being called pieces of art.

Armed with the belief that scents go beyond just smelling good, Jason Lee founded Scent by Six to create perfumes and home scents that help soothe, heal, and be a salve for mental health. The power of imagination is baked into the brand&rsquo;s DNA, specializing in unique fragrances such as &ldquo;2065 Ujong,&rdquo; an olfactory interpretation of what Singapore could be in the year 2065. This imagination is matched by the brand&rsquo;s attention to detail: sustainably sourced ingredients are distilled in the UK and Singapore by world-class perfumers.

Founded with a desire to tell the rich history of Singapore, Scene Shang was started by Jessica Wong and Pamela Ting. During an internship in Shanghai, the pair discovered their love for dressing spaces with meaningful pieces of culture. True to Singapore&rsquo;s culture, Scene Shang&rsquo;s pieces are a meld of heritage-inspired yet forward-looking homeware and furniture.&nbsp;

Weaving nostalgia into modern designs, Onlewo founder Mike Tay captures Singapore&rsquo;s culture and identity on fabric. These colorful scenes and patterns are then applied to a whole plethora of items, ranging from bags, furniture upholstery, scarves, and even notebooks.&nbsp;

Driven by a simple purpose of sharing nature&rsquo;s gifts, Hysses creates aromatherapy products made with natural ingredients. The brand believes that in order to achieve an authentic experience, their products must pay tribute to its roots. Hysses offers everything from essential oils, candles, diffusers, hair and body products, and even make-up.&nbsp;
