Anothersole

We loved the look of leather flats but could never find a comfortable pair. So, we swapped stiff synthetics with soft, breathable leathers and hard chunky bases for flexible soles and Anothersole was born.The perfect elevated pair of timeless flats thousands of women have fallen in love with and can't live without. We're committed to creating consciously. This means using sustainable materials, reducing our use of virgin plastics, working with responsible suppliers and more.

Bells and Birds

Our whimsical label, Bells & Birds, was founded in 2014. A namesake to represent ‘wedding bells for love birds’, the brand started with bridal accessories & robes.

After my own wedding, I noticed that the local market lacked bridal robes, so I picked up sewing from my mother-in-law to create our own. It took a lot of patience and practice, but my love for quality, handmade pieces kept me going. Over the years, we have had retail presence at Tangs Orchard and Raffles Hotel.

Today, we are present in 4 lovely stockists around the island, with a cosy studio by appointment.

We have grown from making romantic lace robes to
adding silk loungewear, printed sleepwear and sultry nightwear to our line. I'm proud that our signature lace and silk pieces are handmade right here in Singapore, supported by small crafters and wonderful customers who appreciate our work. 

Not influenced by trends, our designs are feminine, timeless and
fun. Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, we strive to
provide impeccable customer service. I hope you find something nice, and stay in love.

The Bright Campaign

I LOVE
colour.  I always have. 

In particular, the way that it can affect your mood.  

And there are some products that just make sense – useful, durable,
functional.  

This campaign is to bring more colour into your day with
practical products that are as great to use as they are to look at.

I will support brands that are doing better for our planet.

As a business, The Bright Campaign is contributing towards a bright future by planting a tree for every item purchased. 

It’s time to make things BRIGHT.

Creating With D

My name is Denise, the curator behind Creating with D based in sunny Singapore. I've been creating art from young ever since I could remember, from random doodles on my textbooks in school to painting things that caught my interest, art has always been a way of expressing myself.

Fast forward to 2020 when Covid-19 hit, was also when I got diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune condition. Throughout my first year of diagnosis and
recovery, I found myself not being able to be as active and doing as much as before. Having been very active in competitive sports for most of my life, this was something I struggled very hard with to accept, which is when I turned to painting. Painting calmed me down and gave me peace of mind. It quickly became a form of therapy for me which has not only helped in my ongoing recovery, but also blossomed into an ever-growing passion. 

Art has brought me joy through difficult times, and I hope my creations can bring you the same.

Green Gaea

Green Gaea eco conscious shopping that supports real people around the globe.

After arriving in Singapore and finding no job opportunities to explore, Anne was put in a position to start to explore what she had always wanted to do.  Create beautiful things and help others. 

Sustainability in action to Green Gaea means putting people first, and that is exactly what Green Gaea does. Through a collaborative design process and amazing team in India Green Gaea proudly helps support people in India and Nepal, to help give back to what communities need to keep thriving and moving forward. 

Each piece is made in India by artisans who have been displaced from their homes in West Bengal and now have sustainable livelihoods to help support
everyone from their village back home, the artisans themselves are using time honored processes of creating each piece from their region, this design is always honored in each Green Gaea piece to help preserve a cultural blueprint. The artisans are illiterate, however with the money made the first person from their village has now gone to university and is working in accounting, Arun's daughter who is often featured online. 

The artwork for Green Gaea's branding is done by a working Mum from Bulgaria and then sustainable packaging is used for each piece, even the stickers and postcards are printed sustainably using soy based inks using noissue in HK. 

This way a circular economy process has been adapted in to every day running, and no part has been overlooked. Bringing you small pieces made with love.

Indii Breeze

Sunshine, sand, sea breezes, lazy days and long nights. Indii Breeze was born over a drink with a simple idea and a love of floaty fashion.

From beach to home to bar, the summer essentials are the perfect balance between stylish weekend wear and chic everyday pieces. Industry folk would call it "bohemian" or “resortware” but we don’t like to pigeonhole what we
do. We feel we offer something for every girl, who like us, is in search of soft floaty styled clothing perfect for an endless summer.

Indii Breeze clothing is a celebration of striking colours bursting with summer nostalgia and featuring a variety of playful prints that bring to life the dreamy collections of flattering, easy wear pieces.

Our dresses and playsuits capture a palette of tropical hues with a nod to oriental influences, which are cleverly offset with modern geometric prints set on deep sea hues. With the addition of some carefully curated accessories, the
Indii Breeze relaxed fit pants and flattering staple tops take outfits from day to night with minimal effort but maximum wow factor.

We place the upmost importance on quality and have a unique design aesthetic. All Indii Breeze garments have a soft femininity but pop with personality. We source stunning materials from Bali and the surrounds and have built a solid
friendship with a local tailor who meticulously crafts the Indii Breeze vision.

We love creating original collections for glamorous individuals. We hope you love our latest 'Island Muse' collection as much as we do.

Maisha Concept

Maisha patterns and fabrics are under the care of a family of artisans. They live in the village of Kaladera, Jaipur, where immediate family members and relatives
work together to keep the workshop going. From preparing the raw cotton to hand-carving wood blocks; mixing paint and block-printing – everyone is part of
the process.

We are humbled when we watch the artisans at work, how many hands come together to make an idea come to life. We try to give back in similar fashion: though we may be small, we do our best to make every action count. Through Maisha and its community, we are able to help our artisans expand their workshop, pay them fair wages, and improve their overall living conditions.

Everything we do at Maisha begins and ends with our community. Our artisans have honed their craft for generations, passing knowledge down from one hand to another. With the onslaught of fast fashion, however, smaller printmakers are
forced out of business and risk losing their livelihood.

That is why we are stepping on the brakes, slowing things down to fully
appreciate the process of making and wearing clothes. We’re going back, always going back, to values of appreciating, creating preciousness in the materials
and skills needed to make clothes that are noble and long-lasting.

Being alive in the same time and space means that our stories – yours and mine – are part of the same tapestry we call life. I am thankful to be connected to the artisans I work with, thankful for the pieces we bring to life together.
Through Maisha, you too will be connected to their world of craftsmanship through each hand-printed textile, every hand-finished garment.

By supporting artisanal brands like Maisha, you are directly changing the lives of the artisans we work with. Your purchase means that their skills are valued, and that they have means to provide for their families through it.

Versatile for any occasion, let our pieces do the talking.

Rocket Eyewear

Inspired by their mother’s knack for losing her sunglasses on trips, Ming and Shing, a brother and sister from Singapore, started Rocket Eyewear in December 2016.

They envisioned a company that would specialise in their mum's favourite P3 shape — a classic round frame commissioned for U.S. soldiers during WWII and worn by 1950s movie stars like Grace Kelly, Gregory Peck and James Dean.

Focusing on a single shape, the siblings made their mum's signature frames in the world's widest range of fits, colours and sizes for the diverse people (and noses) of Singapore, a multicultural island-city in Southeast Asia where
east meets west.

Initially, Rocket Eyewear gained a following with travel-mad Singaporeans looking for versatile, understated sunglasses to bring on overseas trips, such as a long weekend in Bali, a cousin’s wedding in Tuscany or even a coffee bean
auction in Colombia!

Today, as we design for a growing community of customers stretching from Sydney to Los Angeles, we embrace new product possibilities while staying true to our original vision of reimagining the classics to fit and flatter different face shapes because one size does not fit all!

Roses and Rhinos

We are a Creative Conscious Clothing Brand for kids and some for Moms too!

We use organic cotton and other sustainable fabrics in our designs. Our DNA is comfortable clothes with cool colours or prints. The shapes are easy wearing, stretchable cottons, elasticated waists, minimal fastenings, drop crotch trousers and swing dresses. 

The prints are designed by our international design team and are fun fun fun that we hope you and your kids will enjoy.

Talking Toes

The humble sock has come a long way from being a piece of clothing that keeps our feet comfy. It is now an accessory that not only puts fun into any outfit, but also expresses your wildest ideas, your unique personalities, and the things that you love most. Here at Talking Toes, we're taking the humble sock one step further by transforming it into a symbol of positive change.

The personal positive messages at your toes are designed just for you. They stay with you through the ups and downs of life, keeping you in step with the things that matter most.

We partner with non-profit organisations and socially-driven brands that are focused on creating positive social and environmental impact on our world.

Ubermums

When I started breastfeeding, I would source for a nursing room whether in a mall or other public areas. Alas, nursing rooms were not readily available and even when they were available, I did not enjoy the feeling of being confined in a little space and having the rest of the family outside waiting for me.

I was subsequently gifted with a nursing cover, however I felt that it was not ideal in fabric and sizing. I then took to task to source for the softest and breathable fabric and created comfortable and practical nursing covers. Today, we are happy to present a wide range of designs that comes in two
thoughtful sizes. 

I am proud to say that we are a Singapore brand and that all our nursing ponchos are made here locally. We strive to provide the most comfortable, practical and stylish nursing covers for breastfeeding mums both here locally and abroad.
