Fancy hitting the malls and heading home with a complimentary new book? Yes, you can do so at two Aesop stores at VivoCity and Marina Bay Sands, between 20 – 24 April. Best of all, there’s no purchase required!

As one of our favourite sustainable brands, Aesop continues to push the envelope. Paying homage to the brand’s name reference to the popular fables Aesop Tales we grew up with, skincare brand Aesop has joined hands with Math Paper Press, Epigram, Ethos Books and Sea Breeze Books, to shed light on the Southeast Asian female literary figures, while championing the local independent publishers and booksellers.

Women’s Day may have come and gone but the act of giving voices to women continues. This month, Aesop seeks to elevate women’s stories in April with their inaugural Women’s Library.

Queried on the out-of-the-box initiative, Aesop says, "We look to celebrate self-expression through the written word and uplift our local voices as we expand our worldview through the lives of others. Through this initiative, we hope to empower our local literary community and celebrate the successes of these authors and artists."

How wonderful is that? Imagine rows of products transformed into bookshelves filled with 50 titles that are handpicked by four local bookstores. From emerging voices to seasoned authors, you can also pick from short stories to novels and poetry. Expect familiar names such as Anne Lee Tzu Pheng, Josephine Chia, Pooja Nansi, Adeline Foo, Amanda Lee Koe to lesser-known authors like Charmaine Leung, Angjolie Mei, Melissa De Silva, Amanda Chong and Weng Pixin.
