Our Story


Kinquo is committed to creating better quality, more functional clothing that is effortlessly chic, sophisticated and easy to match with what is already in our wardrobe. 

Our pieces incorporate couture-quality sewing techniques and functional details like pockets and snaps to help you get about your busy day, all while looking put together. 

OUR DESIGNS:

Painstakingly edited from sketch to production, it takes about 10 months for a Kinquo design to be finalised and made ready for you. Our clothes weave seamlessly into your lifestyle, pulling you in at the right places and flaunts your curves. Specific details are carefully considered - like how much difference an inch will make on a trouser waistband, where the end of the sleeve will hit your arm to create the best effect, and specific placements of pleats and tucks to create a flattering silhouette. Hundreds of hours of work has gone into each piece so that you can wear your Kinquo with confidence!


Working on samples with our factory partners Nathalie and Goy to create the best fit.

FUNCTIONAL DETAILS, REFINED SEWING METHODS:


As women designers, we understand the functions needed in our clothing. From pockets, to snaps, to zipper placement, our team balances function, form, and the sewing viabilities of each design to create great functional details for you. For example, our trousers are equipped with 2 front pockets and 2 back pockets for optimal usability – no more men’s trouser envy! 

We create garments that can last and grow with you. Hence, we are obsessive about stitching, linings, and how garments are finished, making them beautiful inside out. You will be able to see these investment worthy details on the "beautiful inside-out" photos of our pieces. A signature we plan to continue for future collections.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY:

We are constantly trying to improve our sustainability efforts to reduce our impact on the environment and society around us. This is currently applied in the following ways:

  • Design - creating better designs that are functional and can be used more often.
  • Materials - comfortable eco-friendly fabrics are selected for each design.
  • Manufacturing Partners - we visit our factories personally to see for ourselves the conditions and build a close relationship with them.
  • Packaging - 100% recycled, recyclable polymailers to suit the waste infrastructure in Singapore so it's easier for majority of our customers to do their part.

Please reach out to us if you have any suggestions on how we can improve, we are happy to chat at hello@kinquo.com.
