“After 17 years of Bauhinia, it’s time for us to say goodbye,” they wrote in a social media post.

“Thank you to all our customers for your support. There have been many great friendships made over the years.
“Last but not least, we want to thank all our staff old and new. Many of you have made lifelong friendships, some even married with babies living in all different parts of the world. You will always be part of the Bauhinia family.”
