Grannies Chatting Figurine Set (SH057)

Miniature Grannies Figurine The pace of life was slower back in the early days of Singapore. Also, before the invention of mobile phones and email, sitting down and having a leisurely chat to catch up on events and each others’ lives was probably a lot more common-place. Our miniature figurines of two grannies are depicted on a bench. They reflect a timeless tradition of friendly neighborhood gossip and companionship. This figurine displays well in the five-foot way of our yellow or white Heritage Shophouse model. Product Specifications INCLUDES: Two grannies, bench and loose slipper LIMITED EDITION!

In those days, the people normally dressed according to the style of their homeland. Chinese women wore a samfu (also spelt as samfoo), which is the Cantonese term for an everyday two-piece outfit that comprised an upper shirt or blouse (sam) and a pair of trousers (fu).
