The parents who helped Chew stitch his way to the top
From working on a secondhand sewing machine to designing a bag for the prime minister, Chew Kai Hung is grateful for his family's support.
Penangite Chew Kai Hung takes pride in handling every aspect of his bag production process, from cutting fabric to sewing the final product. His mother assists by photographing his designs, while his father drives him to events if he is too exhausted to attend. During a critical Istana Negara order, his parents even closed their restaurant to help him finish the work.
Chew has been supported by his parents throughout his life, which he credits as a significant factor in his success. His designs are known for their bold colour combinations, particularly purple and yellow, and incorporate a variety of traditional and contemporary materials. Chew's breakthrough came in 2021 when a video about his pandemic struggles went viral, leading to numerous orders.
He currently runs his business independently but attributes his achievements to the constant support of his parents.
