In this week’s shopping edit: Exciting discounts and perks at Robinsons department stores islandwide, as well as a hot new collaboration between up-and-coming footwear brand Aquazzura and streetstyle star Poppy Delevingne. By Isabel Ong.
With up to 70 per cent off all categories, including discounts on fashion brands like The Kooples (above), See By Chloe and Zadig & Voltaire as well as other shoe and beauty labels, heading to any Robinsons department store is a must. As an added incentive, they’ve also thrown in perks for Robinsons Group Visa cardmembers: Get vouchers worth $10 to $60 for a minimum spend of $100 to $300 respectively.
What do you get when a style star and an up-and-coming footwear designer team up? A collection of part sexy, part bohemian shoes that are Coveteur-worthy, that’s what. In the seven-piece collaboration: braided suede heeled boots, lace-up heeled sandals, ballerina flats, espadrilles and more, most of which feature appliques in the shape of a sun, moon and stars (they’re inspired by a pair of earrings Delevingne picked up on a trip to St. Tropez).

The British luxury label officially opened its first Singapore store last week. With a modern, minimalist interior, the space houses both men’s and women’s ready-to-wear. Its USP: Pieces that are both work- and weekend-appropiate (think loose-fit trousers and loose silk blouses). #01-19/21 Capitol Piazza
Launched this month, the Saddle bag is a modern re-interpretation of a Coach classic.

To commemorate Singapore’s Jubilee year, UOB has teamed up with New York-based designer Vivienne Tam to produce a limited edition tote that comes with cut-out lotus flowers, so chosen because it symbolises how far the nation has come in just 50 years. Available in black and gold, UOB cardmembers can redeem it for free with a minimum spend of $1,800. Till Jan 10 2016, UOB Orchard or Suntec City
