8 Local Fashion Stores Perfect For Working Women In The CBD
1. Love, Bonito
Love, Bonito is one of the most recognisable homegrown fashion labels. The blogshop-turned-formidable fashion brand is continuing its success with the opening of its third boutique in Funan. If you thought that its two other stores in 313@Somerset and JEM were big, well think again: The Funan boutique is said to be its largest ever, covering over 6,000 square feet.
Also new at this store are two spacious VIP rooms with wheelchair and pram priority access, as well as an on-demand book-a-stylist service for a more thoughtful and personalised shopping experience. Whats more, its Funan store will offer a greater assortment of sleek, office-friendly styles to cater to the working women in the vicinity. Looking for an #ootd spot? Its store boasts a fashion runway that makes use of Augmented Reality (AR) — think field of flowers and more — and Facebook filters to create a one-of-a-kind backdrop.

3. The Form
Did you know that only 20 per cent of your wardrobe gets worn most of the time? To combat the wear-once-and-throw issue, local fashion label The Form, which turns one in July, aims to encourage more wears with evergreen and sophisticated designs that are created with quality materials.
Pieces from this brand, ranging from tops and bottoms to jumpsuits and dresses, sport clean lines, neutral hues and minimal embellishments, and are best suited for those who prefer a more minimalist approach to their style. Funan will be the location of this e-tailers first concept boutique and would allow patrons to try on its pieces. Thats not all: The Form will launch a new collection that will be exclusive to its physical store for one month.

4. Anothersole
A fashion label that creates quality wear with a social conscious element will always get our dollars. Anothersole is such a label because a) it prides itself on well-made shoes crafted with premium leather upper and rubber soles and b) it has an admirable Buy1Feed1 initiative, in which it dedicates 10 per cent of its profits to feeding hungry children and supporting less fortunate communities.
Not only that, Anothersole shoes have gained a cult following for their superior comfort, and many wear them on their travels. Previously only available via stockists, the Funan boutique will be its first standalone store.
