Priced at just $11, the pouch was designed by a Singaporean student at Pathlight, the country's first autism-focused school. Initially, Ms Ho's choice of accessories was met with some criticism online. "[She] really could have chosen something, well, more cheery," an aesthetics doctor said on Facebook. "We need to get a stylist for her please." But, once it was discovered to have been designed by a 19-year-old student of Pathlight, sales of the pouch jumped. "[She] is known to be very down to earth and practical and the fact that she carries a less than 20 Singapore dollars pouch to such a world stage event shows she is really confident and authentic”, the principal of the school said.
