Not stopping at there, being a Muslim Women herself, Vivy expands her business from just selling clothes, to have her own brand of scarves, the dUCk scarves. Other than that, she also ventured into the selling of the stationeries, namely the dUCk stationery that offers planners of variety of designs suitable for her customers that are mostly women. Together with the clothes selling, both dUCk scarves and dUCk stationery always received an overwhelming support from customers and are often being sold out once launched.

To maintain the quality of the products in Fashion Valet, there are four important characteristics such as price, consistency, quality and track record of a fashion designer. However at the same time they always support the new fashion designers who want to create a new name in the local fashion industry.
