About us

Love, Bonito is Southeast Asia's leading womenswear brand, built with a mission to empower women to find confidence through style. Incorporated in 2010 in Singapore, we've since grown from a humble online startup into a multi-channel business with over 20 stores and counting across Asia and a thriving online presence.

For the next decade, we are looking to expand through new categories, markets, wholesale partnerships, and brand acquisitions. We are evolving into a next-generation regional consumer group - one that blends heart with performance, and creativity with technology.

At our core, we're a team of builders, dreamers, and doers who believe culture is more than words on a wall - it's how we show up every day. We move fast, stay curious, and take bold bets on ideas and people we believe in. Here, you'll find a community that challenges you to grow, trusts you to lead, and celebrates you for being you. Together, we're shaping the future of Asian brands - from right here in Southeast Asia, to the world.
