Sheer serendipity landed me at Haji lane, a fashionista's paradise.At Bugis street, I bumped into two backpackers who were trying frantically to get to Arab Lane. I went back to my hotel and did a little research about the place before I headed out the next day.Look what I found!
Tucked away in the muslim quarter of the city between Arab Street & Bali Lane, is Singapore’s best kept fashion secret.
A cluster of off beat boutiques that sell hand picked buys from Hong Kong and Korea.
It’s a refreshing break from the big brands that you encounter in the malls. I stumbled upon a python skin clutch for SGD $350.Contrary to how I thought I’d feel about python skin, it was fabulous! These boutiques stock one of its kind handbags, interesting shoes and exquisite vintage clothes among other things. It’s a little on the steeper side, but you can also find some great buys if you patiently look around.
Sprinkled with a few cafes and ice cream joints, you can do a lot more than that when you are tired from shopping, such as intuitive card readings, crystal healing and meditation classes.
Hop across to Arab Street for some fabric or carpet shopping.
Still better, Bali Lane for a hukka experience and some turkish food that you can drown with some masala tea!
