Last Sunday, I visited Gadis Manis Malaysia boutique at Solaris
Dutamas. When I first heard of the name Gadis Manis Malaysia it really capture
my attention plus the brand the name is easy to remember and pronounce. By the
way, what do you think is Gadis Manis Malaysia when you heard or saw the brand?
At first I thought is some sort of talent management company or beauty
services. Actually Gadis Manis Malaysia is a brand of gifts and souvenirs with
a unique and stylish twist on Malaysia’s ethnic and cultural diversity.
The Gadis Manis Malaysia products are made in Malaysia from design
to the production and final presentation. Florence Lambert Lee a French national,
a mother and also a talented artist who has called Malaysia her home for the
past 20 years.
All the products are unique Malaysian identity crafted by experts in the traditional and modern Malaysia crafts.
According to Florence, Gadis Manis Malaysia concept is from the story of 3 Gadis Manis Friends.

Yati, Gowry, and Ah Chik are three Malaysian
girls. Yati is a Malay girl from Kelantan, northeast of Malaysia. Her parents
own a batik factory that has been her family’s pride and joy for generations. Ah
Chik’s origins can be traced back ten generations to Fujian province, China.
Her ancestors were traders who saw in Malaysia, a new future through commerce
in the Straits of Malacca. Gowry is a fashion designer. Her talent, and love of
fabrics were passed down to her by her grandfather who was a textile merchant
in Madras before he decided to relocate his family and business to Malaysia.
Yati, Gowry, and Ah Chik are three different girls, but they share
a lot. A common passion is food. One of Malaysia’s famous dishes is
"rojak". It is a salad - a wild mix of vegetables, fruits, chilies,
squid, sauce, and assorted fried goodies. Sweet, sour, and spicy all at once.
Sounds like it wouldn’t work, but it does. Malaysia is the same. Different
ethnic groups have come together to share a land, opportunities, traditions,
foods, languages, festivals, religions, and values to create a common modern history.
