The return of Boutique Fairs is just one of the many reasons we should celebrate the end of the pandemic. The massive showcase of local brands and small businesses is a great time for people in Singapore to support the industry and also take a look at the vast amount of talent there is in men’s, women’s and children’s clothing (not to mention F&B and homewares which are also on show there).
This weekend (Friday, 17 March to Sunday, 19 March) the F1 Pit Building will host Boutique Fairs for its Spring Summer edition. If you’re heading down (with your reusable bags for eco-friendliness) be sure to pick up something for the kids at one of these cool children’s ware stores.
