About Banana Fighter

Banana Fighter (BF) is a Malaysian designer brand that serves up a blend of fashion and active wear that can take you from studio to street effortlessly.

In addition, it is made convenient to jump from smart casual to gym and right back at minimal chic without compromising fashion for comfort. The materials are carefully picked to maximize functionality. Active wear gives you freedom to move! There’s a reason why “Athleisure” is rapidly growing globally, but there’s still gap to fill for local market as a homegrown brand.

The Brains Behind the BF Team

BF is a sole proprietorship with no team members at the moment. The business is based on Mandy’s knowledge in creating fashionable pieces, eye for style and limited experience in eCommerce. Most part of this business is built through trial and error. It is risky and time consuming for her but she strongly believes that if you do not execute your idea quick, someone else will, no matter what field of business. Sometimes you just got to take the plunge and learn along the way rather than letting fear hold you back.

Not only wearing it to work out, but also living life in these clothes. This is in addition to providing influential style tips and healthy living. Furthermore, they are also open to collaborations and seeking for like-minded people to work something out. Whether it is from growing a start up together to creating quality content to share with the society. They do not limit to only engaging health and fitness related field, anything is possible.

“remember that nobody is you and it is the personal breakthrough that matters. Every brand carries their unique story, expression of creativity and vision. What matters the most is the process of growth. I get to discover new ideas that will evolve this brand into something people have not seen. You’ll lose your purpose when you start comparing with others. Always stay grounded, stay focused.”

– Mandy Yap, Founder of BANANA FIGHTER
