Ba&sh opens first Singapore flagship store
Parisian womenswear brand Ba&sh
Located at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s premier luxury retail destination, the new Ba&sh boutique offers shoppers an immersive experience, capturing the brand’s distinct Parisian flair, via raw materials and soft colours, through the use of clay, sand and grey tones.
Flooded by natural light, the store decor complements the French brand’s signature style, with elements such as wood and plaster stelae as pedestals for accessories, rope curtains delineating spaces, alongside stoneware and ceramic wall sconces crafted in France.
