7 Exclusive Items With Singapore Airlines' Batik Design That You Can Own

For many Singaporeans and frequent flyers of Singapore Airlines, the sight of the iconic Singapore Girl dressed in the distinctive batik print sarong kebaya when they board an SQ plane evokes a sense of welcoming familiarity.

This timeless uniform was designed by legendary Parisian couturier Pierre Balmain, in 1974 to reflect the identity of Singapore Airlines cabin crew. It has since become globally synonymous with the elegance and exceptional hospitality of the airline. Today, the original design of the batik sarong kebaya is the longest-lasting uniform of any airline, proving that this classic design has truly withstood the test of time.  

KrisShop’s latest Batik Label concept store features a curated selection of exclusive collaborations featuring the Singapore Airlines’ batik design. This contemporary iteration of the batik motif showcases the heritage of the little red dot with floral motifs inspired by flowers native to the country, such as the orange spiral ginger, ixora, and lipstick plant. 

Check out this edit of seven exclusive products that feature this iconic design. 

The vibrant coloured batik print on the bottle label of this gin by Singapore brand, Brass Lion Distillery, makes it a stylish and meaningful addition to your bar counter. Co-created with Singapore Airlines and The Singapore Tourism Board, Brass Lion Distillery brewed a gin exclusively to showcase the unique heritage of Singapore.

Just like how the batik print features tropical flowers, the flavours of the gin are inspired by the country's vibrant food scene and made with floral, botanicals, and fruits of the tropics. Key ingredients include juicy pineapples, critrusy calamansi zest and sweet hawthorn berries for a fruity burst of flavours. 

The Singapore Girl perfume by Bon Parfumeur pays tribute to the elegant and well-travelled SQ cabin crew. To evoke a sense of wanderlust, this perfume comprises scent notes from ingredients around the world. Its fruity blend of Italian mandarins and red currants, mixed with floral notes of the jasmine sambac, and balanced with base notes of powdery iris and oakmoss brings an alluring scent to the nose.
