What’s New Mama? New Mama & Kid-Friendly Stuff in Singapore this March

If it’s a new business, product, or service for mamas and kids in Singapore, we want to tell you about it!

In this month’s edition of What’s New Mama, get psyched for a new multi-label store of independent designers and brands, a new eco-friendly furniture paint that’s also child safe, an event planner than can truly do it all (from birthdays to bachelorettes!), interesting yet incredibly tasteful adult toys to spice up the bedroom scene, and sustainable groceries delivered straight to your doorstep – click through our gallery for more, mama!

Still haven’t found the perfect one-stop shop that caters to our humid climate and has a collection of exclusive, one-off finds, mama? TheAC (short for Attaby Collective) is a boutique department store by a collective of independent designers and brands, carrying everything from bags to womenswear, art, flowers and furniture with the Singaporean lifestyle in mind. Plus, the reps and designers of these brands (many of them mamapreneurs!) work in the boutique, giving you the chance to speak face-to-face when you shop.
