To help home-grown brands (spanning beauty & wellness, fashion & accessories, homeware & décor, and packaged F&B) go even further, the Singapore Brand Office and Singapore Tourism Board, supported by Enterprise Singapore, have jointly launched Made with Passion, a national marketing initiative that promotes Singapore-based brands that “embody the Singapore spirit of turning possibilities into reality”.

If you’re looking to find authentic Singapore brands all under one roof, why not follow social media star Yoyo Cao on a shopping trip to Design Orchard, where you can find many of these Made With Passion labels? 

Operated by the Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF), the retail area offers a great selection from over 60 local brands that span fashion and accessories, home furnishings, beauty products and souvenirs. Some of the Made With Passion names you can find here include jewellery label EDEN + ELIE, wallpaper design studio Onlewo as well as contemporary womenswear GINLEE Studio. Other Singapore-based names available at Design Orchard: Resort wear label AKOSÉE, candle brand Artisan of Sense, shoe label Anothersole, loungewear and sleepwear brand Bells & Birds, bag label Cocoonese as well as sustainable fashion label Little Match Girl.

As the festive season rolls around and you’re getting ready to pamper those you dote on with thoughtful gifts, take the chance to show our home-grown brands and businesses some love too—there’s no better time than now to #supportlocal.
