About
Nyonya Kain
OUR STORY
The Beginning
In late 2018, after a fleeting but enchanting journey to Kelantan with her loved ones, Dayana Reza was captivated by the region’s rich tapestry of textiles. Entranced, she brought her cherished finds back to Kuala Lumpur, eager to share the beauty of these artisanal treasures with her relatives and friends in the urban sprawl. This passion for Kelantan’s textiles sowed the seeds for a vibrant side venture, blossoming alongside her day-to-day commitments in the corporate world.
The name “Nyonya Kain” combines “Nyonya,” meaning a young woman, with “Kain,” our original focus on selling textiles and batik products. Together, it means “Kain Lady.” Nyonya Kain Dayana, who grew up in Melaka, has always loved the deep-rooted customs of the Peranakan and Malay Archipelago cultures. Driven by this passion, she incorporates various Peranakan textiles and patterns into our products, aiming to revive the popularity of batik and traditional clothes in today’s lifestyle for everyone, regardless of age or background.
Driven by her enthusiasm for Batik and a commitment to philanthropy, she has pursued a successful career in the finance industry since 2014. She is a graduate of the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Accounting, and attained her Chartered Accountant status through CPA Australia in early 2019. Her entrepreneurial journey includes several ventures, starting in 2010 post-SPM, where she facilitated the sale of pre-loved luxury items for relatives and close friends. In 2016, she launched DR Fotografi, a reflection of her ardor for photography, specializing in martial arts, culinary, and intimate relationship photography. In her leisure, she is passionate about dancing, martial arts, and exploring new destinations. She is a 1st Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, applying the principles of self-discipline and perseverance learned from martial arts to her professional and personal life.
