Japanese retail chain LUMINE opens 1st global store in Singapore

Renowned Japanese retail chain LUMINE has officially opened its first global flagship store in Singapore, bringing the latest in Japanese fashion and lifestyle to Raffles City. Spanning an impressive 7,000 square feet, this new store is a journey into the heart of Japanese fashion and culture. Adding to the excitement is the debut of Blue Bottle Coffee’s first Southeast Asian location.

A spacious, well-designed layout catches your eye as soon as you step into LUMINE. The store is a haven for fashion enthusiasts, offering a carefully curated selection of some of Japan’s finest fashion and lifestyle brands.

Expect to see big names like BEAMS, UNITED ARROWS, and TOMORROWLAND, each with their own dedicated shop-in-shop spaces. The store also offers an exclusive range of brands like FRAY I.D, Spick & Span, and Le Talon, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

It’s extremely easy to navigate through the different sections tailored for women, men, and culture enthusiasts.

Through their offerings, LUMINE has embodied their tagline, “I am who I am”, which encourages shoppers to express their true selves through their fashion choices. Each piece is modern, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, allowing you to express your individuality with ease. 

Whether you’re on the hunt for a chic blazer that seamlessly transitions from the boardroom to a night out or a unique casual outfit for the weekend, LUMINE has something that will resonate with your personal style.

Beyond fashion, LUMINE Singapore is also committed to promoting cultural exchange. That’s why they’ve created a dynamic lifestyle area, which serves as a pop-up space featuring an eclectic mix of accessories and Japanese crafts.

Their collaboration with Fukui Prefecture features a collection of Fukui products and crafts with cutting-edge designs. Think beautifully crafted plates, stylish handcrafted bags, forged blades, and even sake.

These items all reflect the impeccable craftsmanship Japan is known for. This Fukui pop-up is available only until the end of September, so be sure to check it out before the space is refreshed with new brands. But, don’t worry! They’ll still continue to be sourced from Japan for that authentic touch.

Elevating the experience at LUMINE is the introduction of Blue Bottle Coffee, making its first Southeast Asian appearance right here in Singapore. Blue Bottle Coffee’s makeshift cafe is available for the next few days, offering you an exclusive preview of the exciting cafe in-store concept.

There might be no espresso machine, but don’t let that fool you. The coffee is crafted to deliver full, rich flavours. The concept is also designed to be accessible enough for you to enjoy the same quality brew at home, with their renowned Craft Instant Espresso. 

They sell a variety of products, including their Craft Instant Coffee, Craft Matcha, and tools like a Subminimal Nanofoamer and a Cupping Spoon. You’ll also find a selection of drinkware, including mugs, tumblers, and bottles. Don’t miss out on this limited-time opportunity to experience Blue Bottle Coffee.

If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe or simply immerse yourself in a slice of Japanese culture, LUMINE Singapore’s flagship store is the place to be. From stylish clothing and accessories to unique Japanese crafts and the first-ever Blue Bottle Coffee in Southeast Asia, this store has it all.
