LUMINE – This New Department Store From Tokyo Has Opened In Clarke Quay With A Pastel Cafe & Japanese Labels

Get Christmas-ready at Clarke Quay Central

The festive season is around the corner and we are already feeling the year-end holiday spirit in Singapore. But before tucking into mounds of turkey and ham, you’re going to have to finish up that last minute Christmas shopping. And Clarke Quay Central might just be the right place to do all that and more.

With Tokyo’s mega department store, LUMINE, gracing our shores and a whole lineup of festive riverside performances to look forward to, here’s why Clarke Quay Central will be your one-stop destination this season: 

Shop for Tokyo fashion, lifestyle and homeware at Lumine

Whether you’re shopping for the perfect Christmas dress or picking up something nice for your Japanophile friend, LUMINE (#02-20) provides the trendiest in Japanese fashion as well as lifestyle products, gifts, and even food.

Shop from over 20 modern Japanese labels like Spick and Span, Tomorrowland, Iena, and Fray – all at affordable prices. If you want to put all your shopping bags down and sit down to a nice cuppa, make sure to check out the LUMINE Cafe. You’ll also be able to grab impeccably fruit smoothie parfaits that’ll have you snapping away on your phone.

And if you need to get more shopping done, the mall’s mix of stores like Shinnpark (#01-43) and CH Computer (#03-49) will make it easy to find gifts for just about everyone. Beyond homeware and fashion, there are more niche stalls like The Headphones Gallery (#02-71) where you can get high-end audio gadgets that will thrill the audiophile in your life.

For something a little more traditional you can opt for Old Seng Choong’s (#01-48) selection of homely butter cakes featuring Singaporean-inflected flavours like red dates and walnut butter or more modern offerings like the matcha and white chocolate. Besides gracing your Christmas table, these cakes make great traditional festive treats to accompany every momentous occasion and celebration in life.

With all that gift planning going on, don’t forget to make plans for Christmas hangs with your friends. With over 30 dining options from SQUE Rotisserie & Alehouse to Mitsuba Japanese Restaurant, Clarke Quay Central can perfectly house any Christmas reunion.
