Get a double dose of Big Apple influence at the Tanjong Pagar enclave. The folks at New York fashion house Coach and homegrown bagel joint Two Men Bagel have teamed up to launch a retail pop-up in a shophouse at 39 Duxton Hill, which runs through 8 May. The space will be open to the public every Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 9pm.
The pop-up by Coach and Two Men Bagel is inspired by a traditional New York City bagel shop and allows visitors to purchase food and fashion under one roof.
All this is part of Coach’s efforts to give a taste of the brand’s hometown to customers in Singapore and follows up from where it left off last year when it opened a pop-up vintage concept store in nearby Chinatown. Scroll on to find out more.
Visitors can dig into a special menu conceived by Two Men Bagel that revolves around quintessentially New York-inspired flavours that includes the Big Apple Red Dot featuring apple pie cream cheese with almond crunch ($7) and P.B. Junior featuring cashew nut butter jelly ($7) among others.
The space is also filled with merchandise from Coach’s Spring 2022 collection that features leather goods such as the Cashin Carry Tote and the Soft Tabby shoulder bag as well as the season’s youth-inflected skate-influenced fits.
As a treat, there are one-of-a-kind co-branded Coach and Two Men Bagel items such as tumblers, pins and stickers available as gift options with in-store purchases that feature special mascots designed for the collaboration.
For customers who want to customise their bag purchases, Singapore illustrator Tiffany Lovage will be on-site on Fridays and Saturdays at select timings to adorn your leather goods with graffiti motifs for free. Alternatively, check out the the digital printing option ($50) to personalise your bag which is only available at the pop-up.
