Believe in the power of community. On some days when you feel big goals are impossible, or when you feel like giving up, you need to lean on your like-minded community. You can even “borrow” motivation, and in turn “return” with your own inspiring stories to pay it forward.
In this special column called the “TLC x Fempreneurs Series”, we will be featuring inspiring Female Entrepreneurs (Fempreneurs) in short. You will be able to have a sneak peek at their mindset and their daily habits.

Tell us a little about yourself.
Hi, I am Angie Wong. I am the Founder of JOOP and Occasion Boutique.
JOOP Boutique is a local ladies fashion brand, curating chic and timeless pieces to dress up our customers, enhancing their style and confidence!
What got you started on your business?
I personally love shopping, styling and dressing up during my early adulthood. My friends always meet me up to shop with them, pick apparels for them and dressing them up for their special occasion. It was very satisfying and I felt happy to see my friends looking fabulous after dress them up – that was how I found my passion and love in fashion and making one beautiful and confident!
Both my sister and I always travel and shop together when we are overseas, and we enjoy styling, hence we started our brand JOOP together.
What were some difficulties you faced in your life and how did you overcome them?
Market changes are very challenging, the business have to act and change fast according to the market and we really have to improvise accordingly to market changes always!
What excites you most about your industry?
Planning and prepping new collection, and how to make our customers look even better and feel fabulous everyday! Our love for fashion has kept our passion going despite the challenges faced in the fast-paced industry.
Do you admire any fashion icon?
Yes, I love Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel. Totally classy and elegant!
Do you have any word of advice for other ladies who are starting their business / starting to pursue their dream?
