Boutiques Singapore
The Gifting Edition 2026
20 to 22 November 2026
F1 Pit Building, Singapore
Returning to the F1 Pit Building this November, Boutiques Singapore’s year-end edition brings together more than 300 independent labels, putting regional craft and thoughtful design front and centre. Indonesian label ANW reworks traditional garments through a modern lens, offering its asymmetrical cheongsam dress, finely embroidered kebaya, and special colour iterations produced using leftover fabrics. Thai accessories studio Wodd Bangkok explores architectural balance across two jewellery lines, coupling its bold, sculpted FOUNDATION series with the pared-back forms and dark stone accents of its new FORM collection. As part of the local contingent, Tokonoma brings utilitarian chore jackets, mud-dyed denim, and canvas shoppers, while Tow Tow introduces an adaptable accessory system designed for customisable everyday wear. There will be special launches at the fair. For instance, Malaysian label The Wes Studio will launch its Linen Collection Drop 1, with early preview of Linen Collection: Drop 2 and 3.

New collection, Silver Lining (SS27)
Online from mid-November 2026
The Myanmar label nri, founded by Zin Min Thike, has released its SS27 collection, Silver Lining. It draws on the dress of Burmese women the designer remembers from childhood. The Kayan baby tee takes its name from the Kayan women of Demoso and Pekon, who wear brass coils at the neck. The Bawli top reworks a Burmese undergarment usually hidden beneath a sheer yin phone (ရင်ဖုံး). Spiral quilting shapes its cups, and its bodice extends into a corset-inspired form. The collection goes on sale on the label’s website in mid-November.

Bespoke service and engagement ring capsule, Promised
The Bangkok jewellery label PATTARAPHAN, founded by Nok Salirathavibhaga, is now offering a bespoke service. It launched on 20 October 2026 alongside Promised, the label’s first line of ceremony pieces. The capsule has five engagement rings in the label’s signature oval, marquise and pear shapes. Each stone sits in long claws drawn from Lai Kanok (ลายกนก), a flame-like motif from traditional Thai ornament. The line follows a year of private ring commissions from the label’s friends and clients.
