The Hong Kong fashion accessories label gives a sweet twist to the typically punk-rock harness necklace, thanks to this geometric animal motif.

So sheerly covetable is this dress, from India-based fashion label Morphe. Inspired by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai’s most famous work “The Great Wave”, designer Shenali Sema gives this ethereal look a subtle touch of colour with her embroidered details.
Follow Morphe on Facebook for more information.
Geometric shapes never looked as fun as on these bags from the Hong Kong-based accessories and watch brand Matter Matters. The bag gets its name of course from the Pythagorean theorem (as evidenced by its triangular sides), which you don’t have to know by heart to appreciate its structured shape.

Mark our words, this Irish designer label is one to watch. We love the Irish designer label’s sense of tongue-in-cheek themes, which she deftly translates into very wearable fashion in quality fabrics each season. This particular dress comes from her “All The Jewellery I Never Got” Spring Summer 2012 collection; cute to wear to work and for a Friday night out too!

Worn by celebrities the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga and even Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, this British leather accessories brand also does other styles that are far more suited for daily use than you might expect; like with this conch-shell find, named quite simply as the “Shell Lady Bag”.

As the brainchild of Finnish designer Julia Lundsten, this London-based footwear brand is beloved for its funky and eco-conscious shoes, all crafted from upcycled furniture. Now, you’ll get to shop for its sister line, Skin by Finsk, in Singapore at discounted prices too; our favourites include this shoe with the painted wooden wedge.
Visit the Finsk website for more information.
While we love our staple denim, it’s sometimes far too warm to wear them out. But you may just make an exception for these chambray and denim finds from Hong Kong label Moniikitt, like with the menswear-inspired jacket seen here. It’s made of a cool “Tencel” fabric manufactured in Japan, a material that is certainly far more suited to the hot and humid Singapore weather.
Prices listed include 30 per cent discount; further discounts may be given upon additional purchases. Follow Moniikitt on Facebook for more information.
This leather wallet comes package within a beautiful wooden box too, inspired by the dear fable of the tortoise and the hare; twice the reason to get them from the Singapore accessories label Gnome & Bow.
Prices listed exclude the 10 per cent discount at Blueprint Emporium. Follow Gnome & Bow on Facebook for more information.
Turn heads in this floral halter dress, from the Taiwan fashion label Fabitoria; definitely one of the top to-go-to at Blueprint Emporium for print-loving fanatics.
Follow Fabitoria on Facebook for more information.
This Indonesian label is not only very wallet-friendly — prices range from S$30 to S$60 for tees and sweatshirts — it’s just as supportive of local talent too. The Monstore in-house design team features their illustrations on tees and sweatshirts, as well as designs by young Indonesian artists via their “Scene Stealers” line too.
Check out more of their styles on the Monstore website.
Each of these cuffs are stretchable and can be worn as a cuff or even a hair accessory, around your ponytail. The Singapore accessories label had “printed” colour onto the beads used, to create these iridescent colourways that glisten like fish scales on its cuffs.
Prices listed exclude discounts at Blueprint Emporium 2014. Follow Setu on Facebook for more information.
