objects that tell stories
Discover a Singapore gift beyond the ordinary.
Strait Lights creates meaningful gifts from Singapore, designed with intention, crafted with care, and inspired by place.
Each piece is more than an object; it’s a keepsake, a connection, a way to hold onto the places that shape us and the moments that stay with us. Thoughtfully made, designed to be gifted, and always rooted in story.
Carry a piece of Singapore wherever you go.
Whether inspired by the vibrant Marina Bay or the serene Botanic Gardens, our bracelets serve as timeless mementos for the modern traveler, allowing you to carry your Singapore experiences with you, wherever life leads.
Our bracelets are more than just an accessory. To us, they are a story of craft, community, and empowerment. Our makers are women from low-income families in Singapore and we believe in creating opportunities that enable; providing fair wages, skill development, and flexible work.

palmera necklace
With its swaying palm and sparkling white zircon stars, our Palmera necklace symbolises Singapore and your place within it. The necklace marks sixty years of Singapore’s sovereignty and celebrates the personal stories that have all unfolded within its shores and under its stars.
Why we're comitted to creating clean candles.
More than a decade ago, our founder, Samantha, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Fueled by a mission to regain her well-being, Sam embarked on a journey to clean up her home and lifestyle. This journey revealed an uncomfortable truth about the chemicals lurking in our home that were linked to health risks.
When Sam started Strait Lights, her priority was to make beautiful candles without the toxins. It was a long journey to find a fragrance company who met these values but the effort paid off. We found a fragrance partner who shares our passion for wellness. They have spent nearly a decade leading the way in creating clean scents, free of phthalates, carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, and organ or acute toxins.
Because we believe our homes should be a sanctuary.
