About Us

Embracing Heritage, Shaping Futures

In the heart of a vibrant cultural tapestry, Baba Gabra was born — a passion project by the next generation of Peranakans. Our journey began not just as a quest to preserve a rich legacy, but as a movement to propel the Peranakan spirit into the next century.

At Baba Gabra, tradition isn't just remembered; it's reinvented. We believe in the timelessness of our heritage, but also in its capacity to evolve. Our platform is a celebration of this duality — a place where age-old traditions meet contemporary creativity.

Our founders, descendants of the Peranakan lineage, realized that while the world changed, the colorful threads of our culture remained an integral part of our identity. Yet, there was a gap — a bridge between the old and the new that needed to be crossed. Baba Gabra is that bridge.

We give voice to young Baba and Nyonya artisans, empowering them to weave their stories into every design. These creators aren't just preserving a legacy; they are the torchbearers of a cultural renaissance, infusing traditional motifs with a modern flair.

But Baba Gabra is more than a brand. It's a community and an educational hub. Here, younger Peranakans can delve deep into their roots, learning and embracing the beauty of their heritage. We organize workshops, share resources, and create conversations, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Peranakan culture.

In every product, every event, and every story, Baba Gabra stands as a testament to a culture that's as vibrant today as it was centuries ago — a culture that's growing, evolving, and inspiring new generations.
