About Us

MayMay Chung is a collaboration between 3 sisters.

The name MayMay Chung is derived from our traditional Chinese surname 'Chung' which was inadvertantly changed by immigration officers who could not understand our grandfather when he first arrived in New Zealand. 

'MayMay' has different meanings in Chinese - it can mean 'little sister' but it can also be 'beautiful.'

Trained in the different disciplines of fine arts, graphic design and architecture we have all recently returned to New Zealand after working variously in Hong Kong, London and New York for many years.

We decided to combine our experience and create a brand of products that we feel is unique - and a range that is hopefully not too serious and a little quirky.

 

Our first season is themed around our favourite New Zealand birds - the fantail, morepork and tui or MayMay, Florence and Huey.

 

Our initial range of products includes homeware and stationery - cushions, tea-towels, prints and gift cards. We plan to expand our range to include bedding and bags as well as a dedicated children's range.

 

All our products are designed and hand crafted in New Zealand.

We hope you enjoy our products as much as we did designing them.
