Boutiques at Fort Canning on this week

There is nothing like finding an oh-so-chic vintage French shopping bag, or a stunning Vietnamese ceramic bowl, or some contemporary hand woven silk shawls from a little village in North-East-Thailand.

And this week, is the perfect time to find that coveted treasure. Take some time out and check out Boutiques at Fort Canning, Wednesday April 14 (9am-8pm), and Thursday April 15 (9am-5pm).

Set in the serene and green surroundings of Fort Canning, this is a high-end fair that was started to profile unique and interesting shops that had an edge in design. Soak up the soulful vibe as you browse the fashion, jewelry, bags, funky home decor, soft furnishings, antiques, linen, outdoor furniture, certified organic skin care products and fresh cut flowers sourced from around the globe.

Wander into the designated kid's space featuring certified organic baby wear, baby & children clothes & shoes, toys, decor etc in a space which is airy, clean and fun. There is even a play area for the kids, so mum's can shop in peace.

Stop in for lunch, the onsite Bbakery provides gourmet sandwiches, and coffee & sweets. Or perhaps meet here after work for a browse and a glass of wine and a canapé or two.

Look out for Simone Irani, eye-catching & wearable women's fashion. Monika Barp Design Goldsmith Atelier, unique jewellery for unique people. Snatchbags, innovative, interchangeable zippered hand bags. Addicted2Beads, gold, sterling silver, Italian Murano Glass and Swarovski Crystals which you can make your own unique bracelet from. Rose Citron, striking French/Chinese contemporary soft furnishing design. Isan, stunning handmade silk shawls. Peter Rose, a bespoke floral and landscape designer.

Boutiques at Fort Canning also supports 5 charities, including Open Book, which is a charity that provides a safe, clean reading room for children in Phnom Penh.

So why not forward this to a friend and take some time out and shop the world. You never know what you might find...
