“Singapore is a city of sophisticated shoppers who appreciate unique pieces, be it jewellery, timepieces, art or any lifestyle propositions,” said JeweLuxe founder Angela Loh.
“The city also attracts discerning shoppers from Asia and around the world who enjoy the variety of international and independent brands in Singapore, making the retail experience at JeweLuxe Singapore the ideal springboard for brands to access South-east Asia’s affluent segment.”
The first JeweLuxe event is supported by the Singapore Tourism Board’s Kickstart Fund. The exhibition hopes to achieve over $9 million in sales, according to a press release. Loh is also behind a separate jewellery exhibition called Jewelfest.
