Aurion

Aurion is a local start-up company branched out from one of the top live streaming companies in Singapore, The Auction House SG.

Our founder, Melissa has been promoting and selling thousands of different brand of electronics over the course of 4 years and found that there are no exceptionally good sound quality earbuds at a more wallet-friendly price and thus decided to manufacture her own line of earbuds called Syren under the Aurion brand in 2019.

The name ‘Syren’ took inspiration from the mythical creatures called siren and with their enchanting voice and songs, would lure fishermen. This is what the brand would like to reflect in our product and want users to experience that same feeling.

Aurion launched the first edition Syren in 2019 and sold out within 6 months. It was such a huge success that they have decided to launch the second version, Syren 2 in March 2021 and sold over 600+ sets in just 2 hours.

Bath Bomb Flings

Bath Bomb Flings started out as a hobby – a passion project to craft bath bombs for holidays and staycations, with ingredients that are naturally-sourced, cruelty-free, and well, fresh. As a hobby slowly turned into a business, BBF started to draw the attention of like-minded patrons who preferred organic, natural and non-commercialised products.

Their bath bombs are freshly handmade in small batches, right here in Singapore. They are free of chemicals (such as Parabens, Sulphates and preservatives) which are commonly found in off-the-shelves bath bombs, and are generally suitable for all skin types* and ages.

But still, there are many other things that could have been done. Why bath bombs? You pop it in, it dissolves, it disappears. Isn’t it something pointless?

BBF thinks not. A bath bomb is about the moment. The moment where you experience the scents; the colours; the waters. A moment that you enjoyed. A moment that you took the time to make better. A moment that mattered.

And this moment is all about you – in the sanctity of your bath; your own personal space.

As ex-mental health sector workers, the founders of Bath Bomb Flings, understand the importance of mental wellness. In their own unique way, each bath bomb crafted also represents their hopes to spread this message:

“You matter, and things can be better even with a little change.”

*If you have any serious prevailing skin conditions, it is still best to consult a doctor before use.

More than Just a Fashion Label…
