It seems remarkable to me that, considering the fashionista that I am, I only recently REALLY discovered Haji Lane. A cute little street just before Arab street that features many little fashion stores and cafes. It’s only a little street, but believe me, you will spend lots of time here. It’s great for buying fashion, accessories and fashion gifts.
What is so special about Haji Lane?
- First of all, it’s colorful! The street in itself is a joy to look at. You get taken back to the days of old Singapore.
- Then there is the fashion! No Zara’s and Gucci’s here, but just quaint little, independent fashion stores. Prices tend to be cheap, but the trend level is high.
- Big on fashion trends! I’m currently on top of all the trends due to my daily articles on 40P+Style, so I knew exactly what is hot right now. Many of these shops featured their own creative interpretations of these trends and at much lower prices.
- Lots of colors! If you are getting bored with all the black then there are many colorful clothes to be found here.
- Lots of bargains! It may be the time of year for bargains, but I was able to find quite a few real steals. I bought a lot more than I had planned too. (in fact I had only intended to take photographs of other shoppers!)
- Great little cafes for a break. Since you will spend quite a bit of time in each and every shop, you will quickly get tired. Luckily there are a few great little cafes here. Some are actually in the clothes stores themselves.
- Great for gifts too! This is also a good place to shop for original gifts, especially for the christmas holiday.
- And check out the shoes! Many of the shops also stock some shoes. Again they are interpretations of the high fashion shoes from the designers but at a fraction of the price, so a great place to look for some very fashionable shoes with high heels.
- One shop sells some of the coolest bicycle.
- One shop is called the blogshop. As a blogger I can very much appreciate that! And check out some of the other funky shop names as well!
Some of the worthwhile shops include:
I came home with a few dresses, a jumper, a t-shirt and a present for my niece. If you want to see more, then please check my style blog where I will showcase the outfits. For now, do yourself a favor and don’t wait as long as I did to check out Haji Lane. You will be pleasantly surprised!
