Where Craft Meets Style: The Barehands Gallery

Barehands, Singapore’s homegrown ethical fashion label, debuts a new boutique at Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Known for its thoughtful approach to craft and community, the brand brings together artistry, slow fashion and intimate storytelling in a space designed for discovery and connection.

Founded in 2019, Barehands has grown through close collaborations with artisan partners across the region, creating pieces that honour both craft and livelihood.

Where craft meets conversation

The Barehands Gallery is shaped by warm wood, gentle lighting and tactile details that evoke a sense of stillness and intention. Every element is purposeful. Pottery lamps made using deadstock fabric, locally designed furniture and handcrafted accents reflect the brand’s continued dialogue with makers and creatives.

A made-to-order corner anchors the gallery, allowing visitors to customise fit and fabric after trying on a piece. Each garment is produced by Barehands’ artisan partners within a four to seven week timeframe, supporting slower production cycles and reduced waste.

The store also features a storytelling nook that brings forward the journeys of the artisans behind each design. Through intimate visuals and thoughtful narratives, the space highlights the human connection at the heart of the brand and offers a closer look at the skills, traditions and personal histories that shape every piece.

With the space designed to celebrate thoughtful craft, the gallery also introduces a curated selection of new pieces created for this opening. The new Artisanal Beaded Bag Collection debuts with the Alez, Pixi and Luna bags. Each design is hand-beaded by artisans in the Philippines, bringing together intricate craftsmanship and modern, wearable style.

The Woven Upcycled Leather Bag Collection introduces the brand’s first leather pieces, crafted with upcycled leather by weaving artisans in Myanmar. The Woven Lunch Bag stands out in two colours with a softly textured, relaxed shape.
