Home to an interesting collection of trinkets, home ware and objet d’arts, one local brand to take note of is the boutique’s own in-house label, Democratic Society. Their products cover everyday items like stationery and tableware, with a popular collection drawing its inspiration from key Singapore icons, transforming them into motifs on porcelain plates.
