Welcome to Made in Asia, Lifestyle Asia’s podcast series that aims to connect the cultural dots and communities across Southeast Asia through the power of our voices.
In this episode, we sit down with Veen Dee Tan, the mind behind the beloved homegrown fashion brands, Hanya and Hari. In this episode, we speak about how she first stepped into the local fashion scene, how she climbed her way up in the business, the challenges that came on during the early days of establishing her brands, how she connects with the larger community through the brands’ messaging, and how she, as a working mom, manages the brands along with the people around her.
In collaboration with CelcomDigi | One™ Ultra Plan, this season of LSA Made in Asia presents “Meaningful Connections”, where we explore alongside community leaders what it means to build strong, trusted emotional connections with the community, and also what it’s like to stay ‘connected’, especially in today’s ever-changing and fast-paced lifestyle.
Living seamlessly starts with a connected lifestyle. With the CelcomDigi | One™ Ultra, the all-in-one plan designed for you and your family, you can enjoy everything that a modern household relies on — superfast home fibre, unlimited 5G, MobileShield security, entertainment, all on one plan. Stay connected to what matters most, at home and on the go.
If you’re familiar or acquainted with Veen Dee, you’d probably know that she is someone who doesn’t quite like to be told what to do — and is also someone who deeply knows herself as well as the community around her. Eventually, this would become the driving force towards creating the homegrown brands that she is known for today: Hanya and Hari.
The conversation with Veen Dee also delves deeper into how she has come to understand not only the market, but also the community that she first built the brands for. Through Hanya and Hari, Veen Dee has continuously championed the voices of women everywhere, being vocal about women’s mental health, and hoping to play a supportive role in the community.
Today, Hanya and Hari are both household names when it comes to homegrown fashion. They both pride themselves on being made for the everyday woman — “elevated basics”, as Veen Dee puts it. She goes on to emphasise that the muse for Hanya, or the imagined ‘Hanya’ woman, is “this one girl who’s in a crowd, and she’s very nonchalant, but she’s very chic”. She’s not the centre of attention, but you still find yourself wanting to look at her.
