Bernie from Laksaware

Hi, my name is Bernadette. I’m originally from Malaysia and moved to North Carolina a few years ago, and created Laksaware.

Laksaware was inspired by a bowl of curry laksa while we were in Malaysia.

While the husband was busy devouring his bowl of laksa and getting dots of curry splashed on his white shirt, we came up with the idea of having a “Laksa T-Shirt”. Hence, the name Laksaware. But we haven’t ventured into selling our own T-shirts on Etsy yet because I’ve been addicted to making scrubbies and turning my craftroom into scrubbieville. I got tired of my stinky boring kitchen sponges and wanted to bring some color and fun and eco-friendliness into the kitchen. Two years later, I started selling them on Etsy..and loving it!

Etsy is such a wonderful community of talented artsy folks. Through Etsy, I discovered handmade soaps and became an addict. When Savor told me I had won a $100 shopping spree to her fantastic shop, I literally fell off my chair and was doing the happy dance all day! Thank YOU Savor!
