But with local online shop wheniwasfour's earrings, you can now wear a piece of your childhood memories and heartland culture on you.

Mama shop-inspired earrings

wheniwasfour has released a range of mamak shop-themed earrings, with the accessory designed as items you could possibly find at any mamak shop.

Here is a picture of all the earring designs within this range:
