Singapore local brands we love: fashion, jewellery and skincare
We’re showing our local brands some love here at The WYLD Shop – after all, the makers behind small brands right here in Singapore have incredible talent.
We’ve handpicked some of our favourites to share with you, from local fashion brands to amazing accessories and divine natural skincare and scents – plus pieces for the home. We hope you enjoy getting to know them too...
MIRA
MIRA began with a beautiful collection of small-batch soaps and is growing into a conscious lifestyle brand offering luscious spa products and pretty things you’ll want to adorn your home. Alongside those artisanal soaps rich in butters and essential oils, the collection includes a unique mix of sculptural soy wax candles that are hand-poured here in Singapore, roll-on perfumes crafted from pure essential oils, shell-shaped trinket trays made from eco-resin and now lounge wear.
WYLD has been won over by Mira’s ultra comfortable cotton Ikat kaftan dresses (pictured top) and we think you’ll want to live in one too. Did we mention it has the holy grail of all-day-every-day-dresses? It has pockets!

VINE AND BRANCHES
It’s no secret we’re fans of playful prints and striking patterns here, and local clothing brand Vine and Branches is clearly a fan too. Its collection includes cotton tops in bright patterns, wide-leg jumpsuits that we’d wear everywhere from brunch to office, and its signature style – the Naomi wrap skirt, which is universally flattering sarong style that comes in plenty of fun prints. It’s one of our go-tos to wear on a weekend brunch date.

WANT SKINCARE
One natural, sustainable skincare brand in Singapore we consider a true gem is WANT Skincare. Founded in 2016 by Winona Tan, the range is all about simplicity, sustainability and ethical ingredients. At WYLD, you’ll find WANT Skincare’s collection including luxe grapefruit lip butter, facial oil, hydrating facial spritzer, and roll-on aroma made from fair trade ingredients including pure botanical oils and minerals.
Our daily luxury is WANT Skincare’s star product, The Body Oil. Made from a blend of baobab, kukui and uplifting orange oil, it’s our sensory treat that makes our skin look and feel amazing.

THREEONETWOFIVE
What began as a jewellery making hobby has evolved into local accessories brand THREEONETWOFIVE. We love the label for its unique necklaces and bracelets featuring baroque pearls, glass droplets and semi precious stones such as lapiz lazuli, agate and jade – some are one-off combinations, so when you spot one that you love, make it yours! Her earrings effortlessly range from dainty with semi-precious stone charms to refined statement pieces featuring layers of petals.

STILLGOODS
A sister brand to THREEONETWOFIVE, stillgoods is an elegant collection of functional decor such as incense holders, oil burners, trinket dishes and trays. Made in Indonesia, using natural marble and onyx, we love the raw beauty of these pieces. The brand has also introduced scented sprays that can used as a room fragrance, to spritz on your yoga mat or as a hand sanitiser, and divine fragrance oils – we can’t get enough of its fresh and aptly named scent, The Botanist.

ENVET
If you’ve visited The WYLD Shop's Joo Chiat boutique, you’ve probably admired the attention-grabbing earrings by local jewellery brand, Envet. The evil eye motif you’ll notice across her range was inspired by founder Anita's travels to Turkey and Greece – and her playful pieces feature them as bright adornments on statement earrings, dainty charms on beaded anklets, and as tiny details embedded in pearl charms.
Envet’s beaded jewellery is hand-crafted by Anita herself, and pieces take up to four hours to create – and as part of her vision to create a brand that gives back, she’s also established a small production community in Yogyakarta, Indonesia to help stay-at-home mothers gain financial independence. We love her combination of bold designs, playfulness and purpose – and can’t help collecting her jewellery ourselves.

THE VERDANT LAB
When it comes to vegan beauty and skincare, Singapore has an impressive community of independent local brands. We’re upgrading our daily self-care rituals with the amazing body products and home scents by local label The Verdant Lab. This is a thoughtfully created range, including scented linen sprays and yoga mat cleaning sprays made with essential oils, luxe lotions and body washes in intriguing scents such as oakmoss and tonka.
The range is paraben and sulphite-free for sensitive skin, and made in Singapore. What we especially love? The refill pouches to reduce the amount of packaging introduced into our lives.

OASIS
We have so much respect for Oasis: Skin and its range of vegan skincare and consciously crafted products including beautifully shaped solid shampoos, clay masks and facial oils such as its signature Instaglow Brightening Beauty Oil – all designed to minimise packaging.
Oasis also has its flagship apothecary store on the other end of Joo Chiat Road for the full offering, where you can get refills and even mix your own body wash with beautiful fragrances such as fig and orange – we have the neighbourhood fully covered!
