About Qua

Qua, a brand that has woven its narrative through the delicate threads of craftsmanship and cultural celebration, emerged from a transformative journey that began in 2002. Founded by Meng Yee, Qua traces its roots back to a workshop in Vietnam that left an indelible mark on her, sparking the inception of a brand that would redefine the art of gifting.

Inspired by the meticulous artistry witnessed during that pivotal trip, Qua, an abbreviation of 'gifts' in Vietnamese, was conceived with a profound desire to infuse meaning into the act of giving. The brand stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, producing lacquerware that transcends mere decoration to become a symbol of cultural celebration and longevity.

At the heart of Qua's offerings is a refined range of lacquerware, introduced as the first of its kind in the local market. Characterized by a distinctive rich lustre and enduring shine, each piece is painstakingly handmade and polished by skilled artisans. Working with natural lacquer demands patience and expertise, evident in the beautiful sheen that graces every finished product, destined to last generations.

As a proudly Singaporean entity, Qua actively seeks collaborations with local artists and companies, forging partnerships that enrich its creations with a unique blend of cultural influences. The brand aims for every Qua lacquerware piece to be more than a mere ornament, but a celebration of Asian heritage.

Beyond the realm of traditional lacquerware, Qua has expanded its offerings to include non-lacquer products like decorative cushions, notebooks, and business card cases, maintaining its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and cultural significance.

Since 2011, Qua has extended its reach to collaborate with artists with special needs from ART:DIS and Pathlight Singapore. The fascinating worldviews of these artists are translated into captivating lacquer gift items, creating a sustainable revenue stream for the creators through royalties from merchandise sales.

Qua's commitment to customization goes beyond individual customers. The brand has carved a niche in the corporate realm, offering fully customizable gifts for government agencies, MNCs, banks, and hotels. From logos to designs, artworks to sizes, Qua caters to diverse corporate needs, leaving an indelible mark on the recipients.

With a reputation for exceptional customer service and a passion for crafting distinctive handmade gifts, Qua stands as the defining company for those seeking a seamless and culturally enriched shopping experience. For anyone looking to make a statement through meaningful and beautifully crafted gifts, Qua remains the destination of choice.
