It is no secret that we Singaporeans love shopping. In fact, shopping has become our favourite hobby whether or not we’d admit that. Online shopping is incredibly convenient but it isn’t for everyone - it doesn’t give you the satisfaction of feeling the fabrics drape beautifully on your body or seeing if the fit flatters your body type and shape perfectly.
If you belong to the camp which feels strongly for always trying things on before purchase, the next best thing to shopping at brick-and-mortar stores is, of course, getting expert personal shoppers to help us out. Here, we at GET.com have shortlisted these 3 best places that you could visit for a delightful personal shopping experience that you never imagined possible!
3 Best Spots For A Gratifying Personal Shopping Experience
1. Robinsons The Heeren
Shaking off its aunties-only image with its chic, contemporary interior, Robinsons The Heeren is a pretty hip place to visit. This 6-storey building boasts over 380 brands ranging across fashion, beauty, home decor, food and beverages.
Whether you need ideas for gifts, a closet overhaul or something for your home, Robinsons' personal shoppers are more than happy to extend their service to you. Each session is either 1 or 2 hours, and it even includes possibilities for makeovers and free local deliveries for the items that you purchase.
Tempted already? All you need to do is request for a complimentary appointment on their website. Easy peasy!
Cost: Free
Also, if you're a regular shopper with Robinsons and their group of brands, consider getting your hands on OCBC Robinsons Group Credit Card and be entitled to 5 per cent rebate all year round at Robinsons, Marks & Spencer, John Little and more.
2. Topshop
Fans of high street fashion, rejoice! I absolutely love Topshop and would like to try the premium, complimentary Topshop Personal Shopping service some time soon. Through this imaginably fun-filled experience, shoppers will gain access to Topshop's latest arrivals, hottest trends and styling inspiration, in the the comfort of their private dressing suites, away from the maddening crowds in the usual fitting rooms.
In addition, it is undeniably intriguing and exciting that we can pick a category listed on their site when booking an appointment. Whether we're looking for something closer to our usual style inclinations (just to be on the safer side of things), something apt for a big event coming up, or if you really want to go all out, you can let your personal stylists work their magic so that you'll actually try something you probably wouldn't pick off the rack on your own. Fashion's supposed to be fun, so why not?
Note that this service is only available at Topshop VivoCity and ION Orchard as of now. Securing an appointment is a breeze as all you have to do is fill up a form on their website.
Cost: Free
3. Club 21
For a tremendously exclusive personal shopping experience at Club 21, our homegrown luxury fashion company with a troop of designer stores, you would first have to be a guest at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, which is a fantastic place to stay for a staycation. Expect bespoke fashion consultation sessions in the privacy of your own room while you're at it, or at any of its boutiques located in our sunny shores.
Of course, this by-appointment-only, one-on-one service that is dedicated to the discerning fashionista doesn't come cheap. But then again, if you can very well afford the $300-per-session personal shopping service, it shouldn't be difficult for you to spend over $1000 to have the fashion consultation session waived since luxury labels like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, Mulberry, Lanvin and Comme des Garçons aren't cheap to start with!
Contact Club 21 at 6304 1288 and mention the personal shopper service, or contact their concierge at 6831 7334, to make an appointment.
Cost: $300 per session (approximately 1 hour) or waived if you spend above $1000.
