Singapurts assure that Shopping is their national sport. After our trip to the Garden City, I realized that it was not just a beautiful phrase. Because to get around even the tenth of all stores is the task only for physically enduring shopaholics. They say that on the island, the length of which is just 42 kilometers, the order of 80 shopping centers and Molls fit. And many of them are able to hit the soul depths. For example, in the Suntec City Commercial Complex, built on all Feng Shui laws, there is a famous wealth fountain - the largest in the world, as the Guinness Book of Records assures. Inside the shopping center The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands flows real, albeit the man-made, river, and even have your own 600-meter rink (hello to the Russian winter!). And nearby, right on the water, is located the only Boutique Island Louis Vuitton. All this is very impressive!
Shopping - a fascinating thing. Singapore shopping centers can be found shopahologists of all nationalities.
Orchard Road is considered the main shopping street in Singapore. Translated this means "Street of Fruit Gardens", but now dozens of shopping centers be perfectly here. I have no doubt: their owners collect worthy crop of "lemons". To make your contribution to the prosperity of the region, in the morning I went with my daughter in the morning.
Muslim women also follow the fashion.
... And for an hour after three I prayed for mercy. Showcases, mannequins, fitting room - everything was mixed in one pile. I no longer understood whether we were in this store or simply all the collections of famous brands are similar as the twins brothers. And the most annoying thing is that we have not bought anything yet. Just because things seemed to be created by one designer. I wanted something unusual and nontrivial. Throw me with stones, but to carry from Singapore Chanel or Prada it seemed to me somehow stupid. After all, in Asia, in the end.
In the Indian district of Singapore - its life: Local men staged a real pressure in the Gold Products Store. Women are not a place here!
In an ordinary order, I assigned a break and, choosing a restaurant with Wi-Fi, went to travel around the worldwide network. Because, as our experience showed, just wander around Singapore without a specific address, the thing is meaningless. So it is possible to get lost in the local shower paradise. But the fortistary study of the list of all represented brands gave excellent results.
So, I share your experience. If there is a desire to purchase something, for which it was worth flying many kilometers in Singapore, then immediately in several shopping centers (we found in Centrepoint and Far East Plaza) for sale the local brand 77th Street. This is a youth brand with an explicit Asian accent: a set of things seems to be like in all stores for teenagers, but paints are brighter, and the cut is unusual. Personally, I liked the accessories - an infinite number of pendants, rings, bracelets of strange forms and colors. The daughter is delighted with its new boots - absolutely transparent, but on a pink massive sole. We were lucky to discover in one of the centers a little away from Orchard Road a whole floor of things from young Korean designers. Handbags in the form of packages from milk, sandals with wings like God Hermes - only for the study of the entire non-trivial assortment, the daughter spent several hours!
In the Arab quarter, you can find a lot of cute shops with exclusive things.
For girls ahead - a straight road to Mandarin Gallery, where Ashley Isham things are represented (in his fans, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue and even Lady Gaga). Although this designer has long been living in London, he strongly emphasizes his Singapore origin and even makes special collections for its customers in Asia.
Well, personally, after a raider on Singapore shops, I became a fan of the local brand ALDRESSEDUP. We pack several dresses of amazing cut at once and remember the address - the Paragon Shopping Center. Everything, on this shopping I consider it complete, it's time to rest somewhere in silence and rest. And for this Singapore, as it turned out, is suitable as it is impossible. Because he is famous not only with his skyscrapers ...
