Boutiques Singapore expands to Bangkok with first regional edition

Boutiques Singapore will stage its first regional fair, Boutiques Asia: The Bangkok Edition 2026, from July 24 to 26 at ICONSIAM in Bangkok. The event is designed to help Singapore and Asian independent brands reach new customers, with more than 120 labels and over 70 exclusive launches.
