Torid thought that since I was running a blogshop now, it'd be better to expose me to some fashion events. And there was no better event she could think of bringing me to than the Blueprint Emporium which features up-and-coming International & Asian designers showcasing their wares at The Pit Building.
Not much of a fashionista myself, I was looking forward to being at the event to soak up some high-fashion ambiance while taking a peep into the fashion industry of Singapore.
It was an eye-opener to see various interesting items being sold at the Emporium which marks the end of the Tradeshow held on 16 & 17 May 2013.
Loved this interesting weaved-bag being sold at an affordable price.
The other designs were equally unique.
And these uniquely printed tote-bags caught my eyes too!
But when it comes to bags, I'm a brand-whore. Hence, I only bought myself an outer-wear at 50% discount and a neon top at $10.
Photos up the next time!
Background on the event
