2 Best Shopping in Singapore

Muji

Orchard Fodor's choice
There are four branches of this minimalist Japanese lifestyle chain on Orchard Road, but the flagship is in Plaza Singapura mall. Muji has a range of high-quality Japanese products, from sleek and simple dresses to artisanal lamps, portable aroma diffusers, and folding floor chairs—each item reflecting Japan's traditional Zen philosophy of natural simplicity. The flagship branch also offers a customized embroidery service for any textiles you purchase, with letters and graphics starting from $3.

Mud Rock Ceramics

Little India

Handmade and beautifully imperfect, the ceramics from this shop make perfect mementos. The bowls, plates, vases, and other items are so popular that even local eateries—including Burnt Ends, Le Binchotan, The Ottomani—use them. You can plan ahead to attend one of their classes, or get a piece delivered to your hotel. Custom orders are accepted, but all visits must be scheduled.
