Boutiques Singapore returns to the F1 Pit Building this weekend, Friday 15 May to Sunday 17 May, with its usual mix of independent local and regional brands spanning fashion, lifestyle, homewares, and beyond. It is one of the better excuses to spend a Saturday afternoon not buying anything from a mall, and the quality of the brands exhibiting has gotten noticeably stronger over recent editions.
The problem, and this has happened to me personally, is that there are so many good stalls that I’ve missed some of my favourites and had to make a return trip just to purchase that one perfect thing. Not life-ending, but definitely solvable by having a plan of attack before you dive in. Here are five brands worth putting on your list before you go, so you’re not missing them as you navigate the multiple rooms and floors of local and indie delights.
Womenswear: Rock Daisy
Rock Daisy is the kind of brand that makes you feel excited about what your wardrobe could be. The brand was founded by Rachel Liou, a former finance professional who took evening sewing classes in Belgium before coming home to Singapore and building something intentional yet ridiculously stylish. The label makes modern utility wear from 100% natural fibres with structured and often boxy silhouettes that are designed to last rather than to follow trends. Signature colours and flattering shapes will have you asking, ‘Did I look like this yesterday?’ from your first try on. Production runs are limited to around 30 pieces per style, garments are manufactured in West Java in a shortened supply chain, and the founder is currently expecting, which means this is a brand being built for the long term by someone who has some skin in the game of what the world looks like in the future. Stop by for a structured shirt dress or a well-made vest. Leave feeling like you have made a decision for style and sustainability that your future self will approve of.

Kidswear: House of Holly
I will be honest. I have a personal connection to this recommendation. My nephews wear House of Holly pyjamas, my sister-in-law has the blankets and the cushions, and for every newborn gift I have bought in the last two years, which at this stage of life is a lot, House of Holly has been the answer. The brand makes premium bamboo essentials for newborns, toddlers, and children—everything from swaddles, blankets, crib sheets, bibs, gift sets—in signature Toile de Jouy prints featuring Holly, the founder’s Pembroke Welsh Corgi, who has been woven into every design as a quietly delightful recurring character. Bamboo is genuinely the right fabric for Singapore’s climate as it’s hypoallergenic, thermoregulating, antibacterial, and soft enough that you will want to keep the blanket for yourself. If you have a newborn in your life, this is the stall. If you do not, it is still worth shopping to see their quality, design, and pieces you might just buy for yourself and your home.

Menswear: Anon
Anon, or House of Anon, describes itself as intentional menswear crafted for the tropics, which could easily be meaningless but in this case is not. The brand was founded in early 2025 and makes elevated essentials where the construction and the details say more than a lot of other menswear brands. This is not streetwear, and it is not traditional tailoring. It sits in the considered middle ground that is genuinely difficult to find in Singapore for men. Their pieces are refined without being stiff, appropriate for air conditioning and also for the walk between doors. Stop by if you are shopping for the man in your life who has run out of interesting things to wear, or if you are that man and have been waiting for a local brand to do something worth noticing.
Homewares: Objects
Objects is the stall you will either walk past entirely (but shouldn’t) or spend forty-five minutes at. It’s a curated edit of vintage and pre-loved homeware pieces, hand-selected by its owner Naj, who has the specific gift of making a space feel like somewhere you would actually want to be rather than somewhere that has been styled. Everything is a one-off, nothing is mass-produced, and the curation reflects a genuine point of view rather than a broad attempt to appeal to everyone. If you are the kind of person who would rather own one genuinely interesting object than a shelf of things that all look the same, this is the stall for you. Find them on Instagram at @objects.re before you go, so you know what you are walking towards and what pieces you need to pick up before someone else beats you to it.

Fragrance: Epilogue
If you haven’t yet smelled Epilogue’s ‘Senator, I’m Singaporean’ then Boutiques is your best opportunity to do so in person. What is new at this edition is the rest of the Little Red Dot Collection, including The Golden Rice Bowl, which explores what Singaporeans do, and The City That Never Sleeps, which explores why. This is a Singaporean perfume house building a world rather than a catalogue, founded by two brothers in a five-room HDB flat. They want their brand, Epilogue, to be for Singapore what Diptyque is for France. Based on ‘Senator’ alone, that ambition does not feel unreasonable, and I’ll be picking up hopefully a couple of new fragrances to scent my summer.
Go hungry, leave slowly
Boutiques Singapore is also genuinely a good day out beyond the shopping. The Garage Café is on site, there is a bar this year, and the food options have gotten strong enough that arriving hungry is a reasonable strategy. The lounge spaces are designed to actually sit in, which makes the whole thing feel less like a market and more like a Saturday worth having. The real advice, though, is to do your homework before you arrive. The brand list is available online, the stalls are organised by category, and five minutes of planning before you walk in is the difference between leaving with everything you came for and making a second trip. Shop, eat, catch up with whoever you dragged along, and come with a list. Tickets start from $8 per day, with bundle options and a three-day pass available. Happy shopping.
