Around The World
First Stop: Singapore
To capture the essence and atmosphere of summer within our physical store, we recreated the stunning allure of a wheat field at the window display, evoking the natural beauty associated with the season. Against this picturesque backdrop, the focal point is the magnificent, giant Ida sculptural tote bag, which effortlessly stands out, offering a truly immersive and enchanting visual experience that transports you to the serene ambiance of a golden meadow.
This captivating installation will be displayed at CHARLES & KEITH’s Ngee Ann City mall outlet for an entire month. It will run from June 15th to July 20th.
