A problem with my current bag collection for a short getaway – they’re either way too big (luggage, backpacks) or far too small (totes, small sling bags), so even just heading for an overnighter usually means I’m carrying 2 bags or 1 really bulky overstuffed one! Then one day I did a little online surfing…

So I’m definitely a fan of alternative travel guides, as evident from the Anywhere Travel Guide in store, so when I came across Whaiwhai from Pret A Voyager, I was definitely intrigued. Whaiwhai (it’s a Maori word for “to search for” , though the company originates from Italy) is like an adventure book brought to…
Here’s the other great Wintercheck Factory product that we have in store! For those who’ve been to cold weather countries, I’m sure you miss one thing about Singapore’s weather – not having to pile on the layers when you go out! I try not to carry bags on top of wearing multiple coats as I…

No more carry-on luggage, all you need is a trusty Carry-On Coat and… probably fairly strong shoulders to lug all this around. I see the practicality – with 33 pockets you’ll be amazingly hands-free, but wouldn’t you be fairly bulky? It would be SUCH a relief to take off this coat at the end of…
This is so cute, I am so tempted~ it translates to about S$120, which is not toooooo bad…. right? I love the giant airmail letter feel, and given that I love receiving mail and parcels, opening my bag every time will be just spiffy. Definitely a possibility as a present for myself! From the awesome…
Hello all! I’m still here, just.. busy! Anyway, here’s something that’s pretty cool. Now I’m someone who’s really worried about losing things overseas. Singapore is pretty safe, to the extent that we are lulled into a false sense of security and forget that it’s not always the case overseas. Going backpacking and not having a…
