Merlion Souvenirs — Plushies, Keychains & Collectibles
The Merlion is Singapore's most recognisable icon — a lion-headed, fish-bodied statue representing the city's original name, Singapura ("lion city"). Avendi carries the full lineup from Nom Nom the Merlion and related Singapore studios: plushies dressed in traditional outfits, enamel-pin keychains, and collectible chou chou figures.
Every piece here is made or designed in Singapore. The outfit keychains specifically — cheongsam, nyonya kebaya, baju kurung, SG girl kebaya — are a nod to Singapore's multi-cultural heritage, not just the Merlion itself. Perfect for last-minute gifts or a meaningful reminder of your trip.

Frequently asked questions about Merlion souvenirs
What is the Merlion?+
The Merlion is Singapore's national personification — a creature with a lion's head and a fish's body. The lion head refers to the city's name "Singapura" (Sanskrit for "lion city"), and the fish body represents the island's origin as a fishing village before it became a modern port. The original Merlion statue stands at Merlion Park near Marina Bay.

Are these Merlion souvenirs officially licensed?+
The Merlion image itself is a Singapore national symbol. Individual products in our catalogue are designed and made by independent Singapore brands — each manages their own design and packaging. Check individual product pages for specifics.
