It had to happen. As face masks become commonplace as we go about our essential tasks, those little pieces of fabric have evolved from drab and plain to bright and cheery, and even infused with positive messages. Whether it's Singapore brands who have quickly filled a market need, or fashion labels who have pivoted to make masks from existing fabrics out of necessity or a desire to extend their brand and aesthetics, while raising money for charity, these days, you can don a colourful mask that can help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and make a fun statement at the same time. Do note that many of these are pre-order and you'd likely have to wait for your mask shipment. Here are 8 we like.

1 of 11 LOVE SG face masks, $9.90 each


Quirky local lifestyle brand LOVE SG just launched these patriotic masks, where for every mask sold, they will donate one to Masks Sewn With Love or Migrant Workers' Centre. There are three 3 designs: One with a minimalist #SGUnited printed on the mask, another with #SGUnited in a box logo, and a cute emoji #StayStrong one to show the SG fighting spirit. They come with a slot for disposible surgical masks.

Available from here.

2 of 11 Minor Miracles fabric face masks, $12 each


Local print and textile fashion studio Minor Miracles used leftovers from their signature colourful fabrics to create masks you can't help but feel happier in. The first batch sold out quickly, and as their fabrics were stuck in Malaysia, they've since cut up scarves in their collection to create more masks. They're sewn by recent graduates of the fashion course at Temasek Polytechnic, who have found it tough to get get jobs in this climate. The masks come with slots for disposable masks. All profits from the sale of masks will go to charity, with the third pre-order going to funds supporting migrant workers.

The next pre-order will open on May 1 and the masks are expected to sell out quickly. Go here to order.
