MAIA by Claudia Modern versatile kaftans, handmade in Singapore. They can be work for work, home and holidays.

Toronto skyline, winter sun, quiet mornings before work, a reminder that inspiration doesn’t only come from fabric markets and fitting rooms.

Sometimes it comes from pausing, watching, absorbing.

Colours, textures, silhouettes, the way people dress for comfort in the cold… all these shape how I design for warmth and ease in the tropics.

Even when I’m not wearing a kaftan, I’m still thinking about how to make clothing feel good, not just look good.

Maybe the next collection will carry a hint of this city… we’ll see.

I had the chance to pitch , our Singapore-based brand of modern handmade kaftans, at a recent IDEAS workshop for empowering women entrepreneurs in ASEAN.

What began as a small project to create comfortable, flattering everyday wear for tropical life has grown into a movement empowering stay-at-home women to work creatively from home.

Standing on stage reminded me why I started, to prove that fashion can be both beautiful and meaningful.

Farewell to figure-hugging

Even the fashion giants are seeing it: comfort and effortless flow are what women want today.

Our kaftans are handmade in Singapore for exactly this — easy silhouettes, elegant details, and versatile wear for women who love freedom and style.

Sometimes, fashion shifts. Sometimes, you’re already ahead of the curve.

Effortless elegance in the details

The subtle texture, the clean silhouette, the timeless shade, this piece was made for days when simplicity says it all.

London bricks, pink blooms, and a savanna kaftan that moves with you.

Effortless, bold, and designed for the woman who leads with quiet confidence.

Shot on the elegant streets of Bloomsbury, this moment captures everything we love about timeless style: natural light, beautiful tailoring, and a dash of wild.

Each kaftan piece is handmade in Singapore, designed to travel well and feel even better.

Would you wear this on your next city stroll?

Sundays in London, sweetened with pastries and soft kaftans.

A quiet corner, a good bake, and a piece that feels like home wherever you are.

London mornings and zebra prints.

Savouring a quiet moment outside Gail’s with coffee in hand and our Savanna Kaftan layered under a tailored blazer.

Because effortless style isn’t just about what you wear, it’s how you feel in it.

From Singapore to the streets of London, this kaftan goes where you go.

Handmade. Thoughtful. Unmistakably bold.

At a conference in London: hearing Karen Millen and Julien Macdonald in conversation, reflecting on resilience, reinvention - and the timeless art of dressing women.

Julien shared stories of designing at Chanel and Givenchy in his 20s - a reminder that style may evolve, but the pursuit of beauty and craft never goes out of fashion.

As a small brand creating handmade kaftans in Singapore, these stories are more than inspiring. They remind me why we do what we do: to craft pieces that feel beautiful and made thoughtfully.

From boardroom to night out – one dress, two moods.

Structured and sharp by day, belted and bold by evening.

Effortless style that works as hard as you do.

Because everyday kaftans let you take on meetings by day and martinis by night — without missing a beat.
