Gen Woo
For stylish and sustainable kids clothes that are easy on the wallet, check out this local label. Led by creative director and head designer Gen Woo, who has over 12 years of experience in the UK fashion industry, the Singapore-based brand offers trendy yet comfortable casual wear for girls aged zero to 14.
From tiered floral dresses to summer-friendly basic tees, the small-volume collections are made from excess fabric in the brand’s family-run factories in Bangladesh and Mauritius.

This limited-edition, exclusive collection features unique pieces hand-embroidered by talented artisans in India. Beloved for its elevated basics and iconic jumpsuits, this up-and-coming brand is a must-try if you’re after that effortless yet put-together look. (Who isn’t?!)

Stillen
This maternity and nursing wear label was founded by Lisa Chong, who came from a background of finance. Back then, Lisa found it difficult to get suitable workwear during her pregnancy; even more so while nursing. When she was working, meeting clients in a maternity dress with a nursing access line under the bust often made her feel “frumpy”. So she decided to launch her line of maternity and nursing wear. The aim? To bridge the gap by ensuring that the nursing access was seamlessly incorporated with the design of the outfit.
The products on the site are ethically produced in Indonesia and China, with over 70 percent of the collection designed in-house. Stillen aims to offer mums and mums-to-be a selection of well-made “forever” pieces suitable for both work and play. With the nursing access cleverly hidden, you can keep wearing your dress even after breastfeeding! Online shopping is easy – there’s also free shipping for orders above $150.
Lontessa
Lontessa is the brainchild of New Zealand-raised and Singapore-based fashion designer, Tessa Lont. Launched in 2014, her designs are inspired by Maori culture, the lores of her tribe and the wild beauty of New Zealand’s flora and fauna. On the site you’ll find a gorgeous range of ready-to-wear and made-to-order pieces, as well as intimate apparel.
The brand is passionate about the sustainable use of materials. It’s also known for its unique possum-fur outerwear, which uses New Zealand possum (an uncontrollable threat to native wildlife). The coats are made using a complicated process where each piece of fur is cut many times and then stitched back together. This adds length and creates the individual panels on the coat.
Fly Flot
For comfortable and stylish clogs, slip-ons, slippers and shoes, check out Italian footwear brand Fly Flot. Featuring anatomic insoles that provide support, a soft base and shock resistance for all-day comfort, the shoes offer proper support for everyday activities. The material allows your feet to breathe, and full movement with no resistance.
The design of the sole protects the wearer from the impact of walking. The sole is also slip-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about losing your balance on slippery ground. On top of that, the soft leather material is treated with an anti-bacterial solution; this reduces foot odour and keeps your feet fresh and healthy.
Orders above $100 enjoy free delivery. Not sure about your shoe size? There’s a handy size chart on the site!
White Ginger
Ethically produced in Bali, the resort-wear collections of White Ginger are inspired by the founder’s travels and love for geometric prints. They’ll add the perfect touch of tropical vibes to your wardrobe. Browse the kaftans, cute separates, accessories and more at the web store. Plus, shipping is free in Singapore, and it’s free worldwide too for purchases over $100.
Lustre
Known for its distinctive and unique gemstone pieces, Lustre designs are handcrafted in ateliers around the globe. The brand’s jewellery pieces are crafted with real gemstones set in sterling silver. They feature timeless silhouettes and are produced in limited quantities.
Designer Anaita rolls out up to four collections a year, and prefers to create versatile styles rather than following fads or seasonal trends. Another reason to satisfy your online shopping cravings! There’s also free shipping worldwide on orders over $300.
