Lynda tells us Forestprints Design was born out of daydreams of escaping boredom, monotony, and constraints, to an imaginary quirky little world of colors and wondrous possibilities. Lynda always knew deep inside that a conventional career path was not for her, and wanted to do something on her own that she could take pride in and truly love doing. Her main aim was, among other things, to change the way the world looked! The need to break free, in more ways than one, motivated her. It resulted in her sheer need for more things quirky, odd and colorful with spunk and personality. So began littleoddforest, affectionately known as LOF by loyal friends and fans (like us)! With collections rolled out 4 times yearly, LOF is not interested in becoming a fashion trend - it aims to be a lifestyle; one that is embraced by many, especially handmade lovers and crafty connoisseurs from all over the world who appreciate a little dose of fun in their everyday life!
Lynda is a Singaporean designer, an artsy craftsy kid who flew off to art college in the United States by herself, and spent 4 years in Chicago, where she got her Bachelors in Fine Arts (BFA) from the the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. Lynda makes only what she likes! Everything is produced only in limited numbers, and many are one-of-a-kind creations, all made with lots of love and are sweatshop-labor free (unless you count her in!). She strongly believes in good quality and loves using vintage/out-of-production fabrics and supplies, and adores playing with various combinations, even if it means using a different button to make a piece unique (all vintage/pre-loved materials are thoroughly washed before use). Lynda believes the world would be much more beautiful if everyone had something unique.
