The BONIA Pop-Up Store Will Be Extending Their Stay At Orchard Green Until End May ~ Huney'Z World

Hi Huneybees,

By now, you would have already seen the majestic Bonia Pop-Up Store along Orchard Green. Following the success of the launch party, the pow-wow sessions and workshops, and the thank you party, BONIA is extending their stay at Orchard Green until 31May 2013.

The 4,305 square feet store have exhibitions from their collaboration with Raffles Design Institute (RDI) on the first level, where students presented their designs on an international platform. A strong advocate for the arts, BONIA’s collaboration with these young artists from RDI demonstrates the brand’s rich heritage in exploring diverse ways of integrating culture and fashion. RDI students were tasked to create five different exhibitions depicting Art Deco, Pop Art, Surrealism, Cubism and Fauvism in-line with BONIA’s Spring/Summer 2013 concept. A project of this scale is the first of its kind.

The BONIA retail space takes up the second level, shop there, pick out your favourite Bonia bags, spot the bags autographed by their ambassador - Sonia Sui as well as enjoy a cup of coffee at their cafe.

BONIA has partnered up with The Garden Slug to create a little tête-à-tête area for walk-in guests during the 10 days. A cosy, humble diner offering comfort food, The Garden Slug also offers Southeast Asian iced teas and aromatic coffee to start the day or end a quiet evening with.

So, look forward to more events happening, just like the few I attended. A pow-wow session with Bonia Chief Designer - Mr Gaetano de Franceshi, where I got to discover his inspiration behind BONIA’s Fall / Winter 2013/2014 collection and learnt a few tips of caring for that leather bag of mine.

I also had an intimate TEA x CRAFT session with designer and owner of WEEKEND SUNDRIES - Michelle Chan, where I got to learn how to turn simple everyday objects into accessories. She was so sweet to teach and I got to make my very own leather bracelet...

Here's also what some others have done...

And last but not least, it was the thank you party to celebrate and award those fans who have been supporting Bonia. There was on the spot baked waffles and temporary tattoos to be done...
