The Monocle outpost in London
Singapore’s hip quotient has just reached dangerously high levels – the city is now home to The Monocle Shop in Chip Bee Gardens!
Yes, you read that right. The cult lifestyle magazine has deemed our little island cool enough to open a shop and news bureau in — true hipster style — a nondescript terrace house smack dab in the residential neighbourhood of Chip Bee Gardens.
The shop space stocks issues of Monocle magazines (but, of course) and a range of in-house products and collaborations like Comme des Garcons perfumes and tea sets by Kihara. It also houses a cafe serving up Allpress coffee.
Looks like we found our new hangout spot for the weekend.
