According to a report from The Strait Times, Singaporeans spend less on fashion wear and accessories because of the popularity of online shopping. The prices are surprisingly lower than those in physical clothing shops. But there is also another way to save more when shopping in Singapore— buy the local branded ones!
Economic Benefits
Singapore’s economy will grow significantly if almost all of its citizens buy local. This is because it helps create more jobs for the locals, and it can make the country wealthier since this will result in a high velocity of money.
Support Local Artists
There is a high chance that more local designers will be recognised internationally if the locals themselves start buying and patronising their products.
Distinctive Designs
What is great about local designers is that they create unique designs in each of their pieces. You can find a distinctive piece of clothing that greatly matches your taste.
Accessible
One of the greatest advantages of buying local is that they can be easily bought. You don’t have to wait for weeks just for it to arrive because you can easily find and buy it downtown.
Encourage Competition
Patronising local brands promotes competition. If this happens, then designers will create more unique and better designs. They can also even lower down the prices to make it more appealing to consumers.
Diverse Styles
You will be able to find more variety when you shop for local clothing brands in Singapore. This is because each designer wants to create masterpieces that make them special and different from others.
