If there’s one thing Singapore nails with ease, it’s shopping – especially the indie kind. Our small island is stacked with characterful boutiques and quirky retail gems, each one offering something you didn’t realise you needed until you spot it.
Not sure where to dive in? We’ve done the digging so you don’t have to. Think vintage furniture treasure troves, vinyl dens for serious collectors, independent bookstores for the literature lovers, thrift stores full of surprises, and homegrown fashion labels worth shouting about.
