Birds of a Feather
What started out as a pop-up concept store by owners Georgina Koh and Tan Chiew Ling has now expanded to include two boutiques. Nana & Bird’s latest flagship store (#01-65, 59 Eng Hoon St., 9117-0430, www.nanaandbird.com) retains the intimate, homey vibe of its sister outlet, but offers different labels spanning ready-to-wear, accessories and home wares such as Heinui from France, Los Angeles-based Building Blocks and British brand Falcon Enamelware.
All for Love
French designer Isabel Marant’s collection for H&M will be out on Nov 14, but there’s another collaboration closer to home to buy now. Local e-tailer Love Bonito (www.lovebonito.com) has teamed up with Parisian couturier Julien Fournié for a capsule line, and you can expect a chic range ($50 upwards) of affordable wardrobe staples like dresses, tunics and tops that’ll take you from work to play.
Good Stuff
In celebration of their first anniversary, local label In Good Company is setting up home at TANGS Orchard (310 Orchard Rd., 6737-5500, www.tangs.com.sg) in the form of a 800 sq. ft. pop-up from Nov 1 to Feb 28. The IGC concept store will also play host to six other homegrown names including illustrator Kuanth, artisanal aromatherapy and apothecary Mmerci Encore and BooksActually’s publisher Math Paper Press.
