We want to be a part of your journey to see joy in everyday moments….

Positive designs 

At CYNTHIA & XIAO, we create with the mission to spread joy and good vibes through bold colours and lively knits. We like to have fun and believe that happiness is contagious! So with vibrant colours and strong graphics, we embrace every opportunity to explore new wearable designs and lifestyle creations. We tell our stories through witty graphics - to remind people of good times, to always be relatable and inclusive, to encourage, and to bring communities together! 

Causal good

We pursue the everyday perfect-wear with the belief that comfort is key, so all designs have to be easy to wear. Our collections are the everyday staples - but no short of what you need to brighten the day - suitable for all ages and genders. We opt for merino wool for the winter and breathable knits for summer. 

Wise making

A couple of years ago, we started focusing on knitwear to minimize wastage. We introduce new designs throughout the year best suited to the season or occasion rather than follow the traditional fashion industry timeline, helping us to avoid wasteful operations and maintain a healthy and stress-free partnership with our suppliers. 

The brain behind it all

Designer and Artist Cynthia Mak started her first collection in her tiny home as a side project back in 2014. Having partnered with a good friend and knitwear specialist Xiao Xiao, they launched CYNTHIA & XIAO and set up a small team in Beijing. CYNTHIA & XIAO eventually grew into a fashion brand offering full-range collections showing across international fashion platforms. It was named a finalist in Vogue Talents for Asia and a semi-finalist for the International Woolmark Prize. In 2020, Cynthia returned to her love for graphics and illustrations, spending more time experimenting and playing with new designs, because that's always been her passion.

CYNTHIA & XIAO is now focusing on launching bite-sized series and collaborations with global creatives. Because together we can walk further, try more things, and bring more joy!
