A blue, dinosaur-printed pouch, carried by Ho Ching, the wife of Singapore's PM on a state visit to the White House, has stolen the limelight.
在对美国进行国事访问时，新加坡总理夫人何晶手拿的一款印满恐龙图案的蓝色手包抢尽了风头。
Priced at just $11，the pouch was designed by a Singaporean student at Pathlight, the country's first autism-focused school.
这款手包售价仅为11美元，是由新加坡第一所自闭症学校--新光学校的一名学生设计的。
Initially, Ms Ho's choice of accessories was met with some criticism online. But, once it was discovered to have been designed by 19-year-old Seetoh Sheng Jie of Pathlight, sales of the pouch jumped.
最初，何晶的这款包包引起了网友们的一些批评。不过，当得知这是新光学校19岁的自闭症患者司徒圣杰所设计的，该包的销量有了大幅提升。
The school typically sells 200 pouches in four months, but sold 200 within a day after images of Ms Ho were shared widely, the school told the BBC.
新光学校接受BBC采访时表示，之前，一般四个月能卖出200个这样的小手包，但受“何晶效应”的提振，现在仅在一天内就可以卖出了200多个手包。
She was seen carrying the pouch at the arrival ceremony at the White House South Lawn, where President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama officially welcomed Mr Lee and Ms Ho to the US.
美国总统奥巴马和第一夫人米歇尔在白宫的南草坪为新加坡总理和夫人举行的欢迎仪式上，何晶拿着的就是这款包包。
Pathlight's principal, Linda Kho, said the school was unaware that Mrs Lee would be taking the pouch, which she bought at a recent fundraising event, to Washington.
新光学校校长Linda Kho表示，学校方面事前并不知道何晶会携带这款手包会见美国总统，这个包还是何晶从慈善晚宴上购得的。
"We were pleasantly surprised and honoured that she chose to bring this bag on her official visit. " she told the BBC. "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."
她接受BBC采访时表示：“何晶女士选择这个包出访美国，我们感到非常惊喜和荣幸。何晶女士脚踏实地且非常务实，她会在这样一个国际舞台上携带一个价格低于20新元的包包，也显示了她是一个有自信并真诚的人。”
The Pathlight website describes Mr Seetoh as being "extremely pedantic about dinosaurs", with the illustrations drawn from his personal knowledge. Mr Seetoh was "happy" to find out about the incident, according to his father Mr Jason Seetoh.
新光学校的网站介绍称，司徒圣杰“对恐龙相当感兴趣”，还配有他以个人知识绘出的恐龙插画。据他的父亲司徒业明表示，在知道总理夫人用恐龙包的新闻后，儿子非常开心。
"His parents are understandably very proud and honoured," Ms Shae Hung Yee, Senior Manager, Student And Corporate Affairs at Pathlight school said.
新光学校学生联合事务部高级经理Shae Hung Yee说，“他的一家人都特别自豪和荣幸。”
