Straits Tale Women's High-Low Cheongsam
Regular price $149.00At Maison Q, prints are never just that — they are exciting little worlds waiting to be discovered. For our newest collection, we turned to the stories that surround us: the traditions, symbols and everyday wonders that spark curiosity in both children and grown-ups alike.
Each design is carefully imagined through the Maison Q lens — playful, thoughtful and filled with whimsical details. Every print carries a tale of its own, lovingly brought to life by our team of creatives.
Here are the stories behind our CNY 2026 prints:
Straits Tale
Our A Straits Tale Toile print is a whimsical ode to the Straits, imagined through a tapestry of heritage and symbolism. Designed in a classic toile style, it depicts scenes of life along the waterways: bridges arching gracefully over rivers, sampans gliding across calm waters, and rows of shophouses and pagodas that root the story in place.
Animals much loved in Chinese culture appear throughout, each carrying its own auspicious meaning. The panda, a gentle symbol of peace and friendship; the phoenix, representing renewal and grace; the crane, standing for longevity; and the tortoise, embodying wisdom and endurance. Orchids bloom across the print — Singapore’s national flower and a symbol of refinement and beauty — adding a regional touch to the festive landscape.
