Betcha Didn't Know They Are From Singapore

If your concept of Singapore products or design is limited to items with a strong nostalgic stamp on them, then we might be able to surprise you here. 

We present to you these creations that you prolly didn't expect to belong to Singaporeans. 

1. A Dose Of Something Good

Founded by Robert Upton, A Dose Of Something Good started from a lovely story of how Robert's wife requested for a scented candle, which sparked a series of scents that meant something to the couple. Just remember, when you bring home a candle, you are not only bringing back a fragrance, you are bringing back a story.

2. ACRE

ACRE is a multi-disciplinary design house, which focuses on branding, experience, space, and product design. While their products are inspired by Singaporean lifestyles, their design is crafted neatly, differentiating their products from the Singapore design that many easily identify.

3. Alexiares & Ani

We don't know how many people actually decide to start a skincare brand with the notion of wanting long-term skin health, but this couple did! Keith and Dawn, the founders of Alexiares & Ani, are big skin health advocates, and that translated well into their products.

4. BaeBeeBoo

When Maggie Durma finds that the kids clothing out lack the uniqueness that she was looking for her baby girl, or Bae, she started BaeBeeBoo to let kids be fashionable and comfy at the same time. We wish they were in adult sizes too.

7. Euphoramics

What started off as pure interest has become a beautiful profession. Yan Ling signed up for a handbuilding class in 1999 after she read a feature on ceramist, Jessie Lim, in a magazine back then. Euphoramics is all about experiencing joy and euphoria first hand, and honestly, we can't think of any other reason why you wouldn't be happy with these handmade pieces in your hands.
