Inside lululemon ION Orchard: the brand’s first store in Asia begins a new chapter

When lululemon opened its doors at ION Orchard 12 years ago, it wasn’t just the brand’s first store in Singapore, but it was its first in all of Asia. Fast forward to 2026, and the store has since grown a loyal community in Singapore, with the brand expanding to as many as nine stores across the island. 

And so when we heard that this very store was getting a new makeover, we knew it would be something we couldn’t sleep on. Reopening on November 12 spanning 5,821sq ft, it’s the first store in Singapore to bring lululemon’s latest global store concept to life, marking a new chapter for the brand right where its Asia journey started.

A space built for movement, joy and connection

The new store is designed around three pillars that sit at the heart of the brand: Movement, Joy and Connection. And you’ll notice them in almost every corner of the store.

The design takes its cue from the natural landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where lululemon was founded. Case in point: you’ll spot soft, rustic textures, raked patterns and debossed wood details around the store.

But it’s not just about looks. Contrasting neutral and vibrant tones help define each zone, so moving between run, train and yoga feels easy and intuitive.

Exclusives you’ll only find at ION Orchard

Beyond the fresh new look, there are a few more reasons to make the trip down. For instance, for the first time in Singapore, lululemon is introducing in-store personalisation, available only at the ION Orchard store. 

With any purchase of an Everywhere Belt Bag or selected water bottles, you can have your belt bag embossed or your bottle engraved – a small, thoughtful touch that also makes for a great gift.

With the enduring appeal of blind boxes, guests can also look forward to lululemon’s very own limited-edition blind boxes that were created especially for the reopening. To get your hands on one, simply spend a minimum of $288 to redeem - limited to one blind box per transaction per guest. Available from November 12, while stocks last.

And for the runners, the Fast & Free Run capsule comes in seasonal colourways that are also exclusively available at ION.

High style meets high performance

If you’ve always thought of lululemon as a yoga brand, this might be the time to take a second look. The new store showcases the full range across women’s and men’s, spanning run, train and yoga.

At the core of it all is a simple idea: when you feel your best, you perform your best. That’s why every piece is designed with both function and style in mind, so it works just as well on a 10K route as it does for coffee after.

You’ll see this in the latest ‘Outrun the Noise’ collection, which is now available in-store. Drawing some of the most iconic pieces from across the board in new colourways, including Fast and Free, Shake It Out, Pace Breaker and Mile Maker, the new range will also see some new iridescent styles.

For the latter, the collection for women will introduce two net-new styles designed for lightweight, unrestricted movement. The first is the Iridescent Convertible Running Jacket, which boasts a super lightweight layer with a soft, matte feel and a subtle shimmer, and the sleeves zip off so you can turn it into a vest once you warm up. What’s unique about this piece is that it’s a relaxed fit that sits at the hip, so it stays out of your way while you run, which we really appreciate.

And to match, the Iridescent Mid-Rise Running Short 2” uses the same shimmery fabric in a mid-rise, 2” short, with side zips that open up the slits for more room to stride. They’ve also got a built-in mesh liner, three drop-in pockets on the back, and a waistband loop to hang your shirt if you strip down mid-run.

Celebrating with the community

Of course, no lululemon opening would be complete without bringing people together. Before the reopening, the brand hosted a special activation at Design Orchard from November 6 to 9.

Guests got to move to live-music reformer pilates, yoga, run and training sessions led by lululemon ambassadors and leading instructors, before refueling with curated food and drinks from your favourite local food brands. 

And when the sessions wrapped, the energy kept going. DJ Dee from GrooveTop took over the decks at the afterparty, while the lululemon shopper photobooth made sure everyone went home with a memory or two.
