Stroll down Orchard Road, lauded as one of the best places to shop in Singapore. Spanning almost 2.2km, this bustling belt is home to a delectable range of retail, dining and entertainment choices.
Whether you are looking for international luxury brands, stylish homegrown labels or trendy high-street fashion collections, this vibrant belt is a must-visit.
Of particular note are two multi-label heritage department stores, Robinsons and TANGS, which are stalwarts of Singapore’s shopping scene, and have remained at the cutting edge of fashion and impeccable service.
Originally known as Spicer and Robinson, Robinsons started as a family warehouse at Commercial Square (now known as Raffles Place). With several outlets island-wide, it is well-regarded in Singapore, thanks to its 150-year heritage as a local retail powerhouse.
TANGS, set up in 1958 by local businessman C.K. Tang, is Orchard Road’s first department store. It moved to its current building at the junction of Orchard and Scotts roads in 1982, and boasts a vast apparel, electronics and household selection.
Both stores stock a variety of local designer gems such as Aijek (effortless pieces made of natural fibres), In Good Company (contemporary and casually chic apparel) and Atelier Fang (for their handcrafted limited edition shoes).
One space along Orchard Road that has assembled a number of Singaporean design labels is KEEPERS. Check out brands like Gnome & Bow (known for quirky details on bags, briefcases and wallets for men), and Whole9Yards (for its minimalist vintage selection).
Witness the shopping belt come to life on the first Saturday of every month from July to December 2015. The 500m stretch from ION Orchard to Ngee Ann City will be closed to traffic from 6pm to 11pm1for Pedestrian Night, where visitors can participate in street-level, entertainment-themed activities and specially curated in-mall, in-store events.
