The best new shops and drops to check out

Hot on the heels of its investment in Moom Health, fashion and lifestyle label Love, Bonito has acquired local activewear brand butter. – now known, cheekily, as cheak. The two homegrown powerhouses are here to jazz up your gym sessions with a new line of sporty fits. There are two categories to shop from here, BaseCore for those hardcore, HIIT workouts, and BaseFlex, a buttery soft collection that's meant to flex with every warrior pose and downward dog. In keeping with the rebrand, cheak's apparel comes in 13 funky colours to suit warm to cool tones – we love dreamy Moon and perky Wink – as well as eight sizes from XXS to XXL to suit every body shape. 

Shop the public launch on October 21 on Love, Bonito and cheak. The collection will also be available at all Love, Bonito's physical stores. 

Not that we believe jewellery is gendered in the first place, but By Invite Only's The Collective Edit is worth a mention for classic pieces that anyone can wear. In signature minimalist style, the new collection features easy-to-wear pieces – from classic studs and huggies to adorn the ears, to sleek chains and bangles to draw the eye. Our pick has to be the Jaimie series, which combines gold and silver metals in a full range of earrings, necklaces and bangles – for days when you can't decide which colour to go for.

Mandai Wildlife Group has collaborated with Huggs Coffee to launch a collection that's not just adorable, but also sustainable. Take the roomy bag made from Tyvek, a 100 percent recyclable material that's also water- and tear- resistant. Mini bluetooth speakers are made from sustainably sourced FSC-certified wood, while the bear plushie is made from post-consumer polyester from plastic waste and recycled biopolymer pellets. Where Huggs Coffee comes in is in the collection's sustainable cookies, which are derived from spent Huggs coffee grounds. You can also enjoy a cup of coffee made from a special blend of beans roasted in-house by Huggs, using a machine that saves up to 80 percent fuel compared to conventional roasters. 

Shop the sustainable collection at Mandai Wildlife Group’s Lazada and Shopee e-shops.

It's always hot in Singapore, which means ample opportunity to flaunt your equally hot bod at the pool or beach. If you find usual swimwear brands in Singapore too safe, then Estateswim might be for you. It's all about fun prints and adventurous cuts here – the brand wants you to feel as sexy in its swimwear as you do in lingerie. Take 'Tropical Dance in the Jungle', a bold one-piece with brazilian bottoms, wide cut outs at the side, and waist-accentuating gold chain that leave little to the imagination. As a luxury brand that's designed in Italy, swim apparel at Estateswim starts at $150.

You might have seen UNIQLO's RE.UNIQLO Studio at the Ang Mo Kio branch, but the brand's unique repair station is now a lot more accessible – finding its home at its Orchard Central global flagship store. For the uninitiated, RE.UNIQLO Studio is where customers can bring their torn or otherwise damaged goods to get a second lease of life. At the studio, you can get seams mended, buttons replaced, torn pockets patched, and belt loops fixed – at the reasonable price of $5 each. This is all part of UNIQLO's efforts towards sustainability – so do head down to RE.UNIQLO Studio instead of trashing your old clothes next time!
