Never has a tropical summer sounded quite so refreshing. Homegrown leather goods brand Pedro is no stranger to celebrating local culture, but their latest capsule puts a subtler spin on what we know and love about the Lion City. With the newly launched and Singapore-exclusive Ari capsule collection, Pedro transforms one of their chic staple offerings into a loving tribute to island life.
With its compact shape and calf leather frame, the Ari bag has long been emblematic of Pedro’s particular brand of refined elegance, impervious to the latest fads and micro-trends. This new iteration of the bag takes those same style codes and loosens them up in the spirit of summer—the bag’s boxy top compartment gets a butter-yellow makeover, while its bottom half swaps leather for a woven texture, reminiscent of wicker baskets and straw hats waving in the wind.
And could it be a tribute to the Garden City without a nod to our local flora and fauna? The intricate leather orchid charm offered with the larger Ari bag swaps the purple and white of our national flower for a quieter—but no less vibrant—yellow, blending perfectly with the capsule’s vision of summery elegance. (For those more practically minded, the smaller Ari bag eschews the playfulness of the orchid charm for a subtly chic chain-link strap.)
To celebrate the launch of the seasonal capsule, Pedro’s Wisma Atria store offered customers icy treats in the same shade of pale yellow that defines the collection, serving as an invitation to lean into the brand’s summer daydream. It’s a softer, more ephemeral vision of our island’s tropical heat—where the sun gently warms without scorching, and style is enduring and effortless.
