Tokyu Hands has been a familiar name in Singapore since it opened its doors nearly a decade ago.
The Japanese lifestyle store has now rebranded with a new name Hands, and new logo inspired by the kanji word te (手). Now a subsidiary of Caimz Corporation, all Hands stores including brands in Singapore will carry the new company name and logo by the end of March 2024
Kicking off the rebranding is Hands Orchard Central, which is among the first to unveil new products and services. While shoppers can still find their favourite stationery here, the store has now expanded its offerings to include a wider range of products across beauty, healthcare and hobby categories.
There are also several renewed lifestyle corners where you can try out various healthcare products before making a purchase; gift-wrapping services using non-woven bag and environmentally friendly paper closure; and complimentary personalised name engraving service for selected Pilot pens.
So what are some of the highlights to look out for? We’ve picked out our favourites – some of which are exclusive to the Singapore store.
