Supplies & Co. is here to show you that there is more to high-end fashion than just the likes of Prada and Louis Vuitton. This retailer specializes in Japanese labels such as Engineered Garments, Needles, Tahiromiyashita The Soloist and Human Made, to name a few. Also, the store features an animated Yu Nagaba-designed lighting, so that is one more reason to check it out.

Head down to 268 Orchard Road and you will find yourself amidst four retail giants. Surrender Store, in particular, is one of Singapore’s longest running stores and offers brands that you won’t find elsewhere. These include Visvim, Palm Angels, Neighborhood and 424, to name a few. However, if none of these brands interests you and you want to continue shopping, the Off White, County of Milan and Christian Dada stores are just steps away.
