If you’ve ever wandered into a Flying Tiger Copenhagen store overseas and emerged clutching a bag full of quirky, colourful things you didn’t know you needed – congrats, you’re one of us. And great news: the cult-favourite Danish lifestyle store has officially open its first flagship in Singapore today, July 28. It's located on Level 2 (#02-20) of Bugis+ – simply take the escalator up and you'll notice it instantly.
To mark the Singapore opening, the brand is rolling out an interactive pop-up at the Bugis+ atrium from August 1 to 3. You can look forward to a playful mix of mini games, a spin-the-wheel station, and exclusive prizes waiting to be won.
For the uninitiated, Flying Tiger first started as a humble flea market stall in 1988, before opening its first brick-and-mortar in 1995. Today, it's one of Denmark’s biggest – and cheekiest – exports, with more than 1,000 stores in 39 markets. It's known across Europe for its whimsical take on everyday essentials at wallet-friendly prices. Think playful stationery, novelty toys, offbeat home décor, fun party supplies, cute kitchen gadgets, and more – all with that signature Scandinavian charm and sense of humour. And if you’re feeling peckish from all that browsing, there are tasty snacks you can grab from the shelves.
Why are we excited? For one, stepping into a Flying Tiger feels like entering a dopamine-fuelled wonderland. The store’s ever-changing seasonal lineup means no two visits are ever the same. It’s the perfect place to find a gift, stock up on desk accessories, or just get lost browsing shelves packed with pure serotonin.
The Singapore store is part of the brand’s biggest global expansion yet. Flying Tiger has plans to enter new markets and open new stores in existing ones. And if you’re traveling to Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and even as far as Canada, keep your eyes peeled for store openings there too. With over 900 stores worldwide, you can bet they know how to make an entrance.
Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious first-timer, this one’s worth checking out. And we suggest clearing some space in your tote bag now.
