If you’re slightly bored of the big shopping malls and in a mood for some playful shopping, we suggest getting out there and paying a visit to our local markets – vintage flea markets, art bazaars, book fairs – name it and we probably have it.

Time to switch things up. Participate in recyclable fashion with your next one-of-a-kind find, discover new local artisans, buy a new book, and maybe even pick up a free thing or two. You’ll never know what you’ll find and who you’ll meet next!

5. Curbside Crafters

Whether you’re shopping for birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, or for yourself, a good place to pick up some unique items is at Curbside Crafters. This curated lifestyle marketplace in Kampong Glam occupies two levels of a shophouse on North Bridge Road. In this bright and airy space, you’ll find booths set up by local creatives and F&B businesses selling handcrafted wares alongside takeaway foods.

To stay in the loop on the retail booths, F&B brands and workshops available, follow Curbside Crafters on Instagram.
