About us
The Ordinary Co (@theordinaryco) is a Singapore-based accessories label known for our reversible woven shawls, sold online and through selected stockists.
We are a small, growing independent brand, so you will see how a consumer brand is built end to end: creating content, developing products, working with stockists and packing the orders that land in our customers’ hands. You will work closely with our founder, Monica, on both the creative and the day-to-day side of the business.
What you’ll work on
Most of your time will go to creative and content work. Expect roughly 50% creative & content, 30% community & brand, 20% operations. Operations take a bigger share during launches, events and Peak Season (November – January).

Community & Brand

- Keep track of seeding and content received
- Help identify creators who fit the brand
Stockists & Event Logistics
- Help prepare stocks, displays and materials for pop-ups and stockists
- Support key brand events, such as The Christmas Atelier
- Assist with event setup and on-ground operations where needed
- Help pack and fulfil orders on in-person days, with more packing during Peak Season

How to apply
Send your CV and portfolio (PDF, Behance or a link to your Instagram/website) with the subject line “Creative & Brand Assistant – [Your Name]” to hello@theordinary.co. Tell us in a few lines which piece of our content you would have done differently, and why.
Applications close on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. We review applications as they come in, so apply early.
Shortlisted candidates will be given a short design brief, for example three Instagram story frames for one of our colourways, followed by a chat with Monica.
The workload will shift with the brand. Some weeks will be more creative, while launches and events will involve more hands-on preparation. We’re looking for someone adaptable, reliable and excited to make things happen.
In Good Hands
The viscose in our shawls is sourced from a leading specialist yarn-dyeing mills, a publicly listed manufacturer with over twenty years of experience in colour development and textile finishing. The mill holds internationally recognised certifications for quality, environmental management and product safety.
RAW MATERIAL
A Fibre Born from Nature
Derived from wood-based cellulose, viscose combines the softness of natural fibres with an elegant drape. Light against the skin and comfortable year-round, it forms the foundation of every shawl.
Sourced through FSC-certified supply chains to support responsible forest management; and processed in an OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified mill.
Beyond the Surface
Crafted With Care, Tested With Purpose
Selected materials are independently tested for colour fastness and screened for restricted azo dyes. While unseen in the finished shawl, these quality checks form part of our continued commitment to responsible textile production and everyday wear.
Yarn-Dyed Quality
Color That Stays True
Beautiful colour should endure beyond the first wear. Our shawls are independently tested for colour fastness, helping maintain the richness and character of each weave through everyday use and care.
Woven, Not Printed
Woven on jacquard looms, every motif is created by interlacing coloured yarns directly into the fabric rather than sitting on the surface as a print.
This construction becomes part of the textile itself, a reversible shawl with depth, texture and dimension, revealing a different expression on each side. The intricate weave catches the light differently as it moves, bringing subtle richness and character that cannot be achieved through printing alone.
Beautiful from both sides and designed to be worn often, each shawl is crafted to balance artistry, versatility and everyday ease.
