Julie Anne and Aina Syahirah established KULET in 2016, centering on effortless, sophisticated styles that transcends trend and season. Synonymous with the brand’s identity, the name KULET (KU·LIT: skin in the Malay language) was coined to represent their signature palette of nude carefully curated to complement different skin tones. A strong advocate for ‘compassion in fashion’ movement, KULET’s versatile shoes only make use of man made leather instead of genuine leather.

3. Yoke & Theam
