Memoirs of aTong Dynasty Doll
Memoirs of aTong Dynasty DollStep into a space between time, five-seventh
of the way up the rabbit hole, 365 hours
north-west of the robin’s first warm-up warble.
It is a world of perpetual and effervescent
spring, ruled by the Tong Dynasty, where
playful imagination mingles with capricious
charm. In this dreamscape, dolls dance in the
meadows and girls have bunny friends over
for afternoon tea.
Spring Festival is celebrated with
sparkling new frocks from imperial couturier
Tan Sheau Yun’s Tong Tong 2011 collection.
Brandishing her magic needle and gossamer
thread, she splices bolts of fabrics in vivid
hues and oodles of doodles into charming dresses
with Mandarin collars, in a nod to traditional
Chinese-wear. Witty detailing such as
contrasting piping or collar lining adds touches
of whimsy to delight the wearer. Stiff, stifling
Chinese cheongsams? Those belong to
another world... Getting dolled up here is fun!

About Tong TongTong Tong has been raising the style quotient
with its own brand of nu-orient since 2006.
Starting with a capsule collection of cheongsam-
inspired tops in quirky retro prints and stylish
palazzo pants inspired by the samfu bottom,
Tong Tong has delighted ladies each year with
refreshing, unexpected fashion spin-offs from
traditional Chinese-wear.
Fans look forward to the beginning of
each year, when Tong Tong’s new Spring
collection is unveiled in time for the Chinese
New Year. New designs are, of course,
introduced year-round.
Tong Tong’s founder and designer
Tan Sheau Yun has skilfully woven bits of
Chinese history, symbolism and culture into
her quirky apparel and accessories. A visit to
the enchanting Tong Tong Friendship Store
will be one of discovery — not just of eclectic
oriental wear with a twist, but of the Chinese
material culture that Sheau Yun loves so
deeply and wishes to share.
