I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of Chan Ngee, Mr Goh Yong Chiang, and his son, Seng Ngee, at their shop recently. Besides the shop being a repository of artefacts dating back to the Qing Dynasty, as well as more affordable vintage items, it was amazing to hear fascinating stories about the Singapore of yore from its owners. The elder Goh, who is so warm and friendly, is a treasure trove of lively anecdotes of the past. He even performed the traditional Gongfu tea ceremony for me (with amazing deftness for an 80-year-old!) as we chatted.So grateful to be privy to one of Singapore's authentic historical narratives. His son, Seng Ngee, gives lots of context to the various pieces in the shops. The shop specialises in Yingxi teapots which are made of a super absorbant clay that retains the flavour of tea. They are also holding an exhibition on local and Chinese artisans their upper floor, which I suggest you go check out.

A Vintage Tale - World’s Wardrobe

Reviewed By glks7 - Washington DC, United States

Loved stepping into the past in this vintage shophouse. Beautifully decorated, thoughtfully curated, and a colorful feast for the eyes. So many vintage clothing, jewelry, and accessory items! The owners are kind and friendly and their shop is a bright, colorful nod to the past while still being fashion forward. I loved the interior design & decor almost as much as I loved the fashion finds. I purchased a beautiful skirt that will be a reminder of a great visit to Singapore.

Journey East

A hidden find at the fringe of the bohemian Tiong Bahru locale, Journey East has been Singapore's destination for unique, vintage, and eco-friendly furniture since 1995. Specializing in vintage Asian Art-Deco teak wood pieces, the owners make regular sourcing trips around the region to hand-pick and restore furniture which date back to the early-to-mid 1900s. At the showroom, you will be able to find retro pieces from the Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras that are distinct from European contemporaries.The store has since expanded their collections to include eco-friendly recycled teak furniture, mostly reclaimed from old buildings, railway sleepers and fishing boats. Journey East is also a stockist for weather-resistant outdoor furnishing, as well as colorful home accessories like French and Belgian wall art.Journey East is open 7 days a week and on most public holidays, and is able to help arrange for international shipping worldwide.
