More than just IT stuff
Before the doors were opened to the public on Friday (28 June), swarms of people circled Funan, eager to be one of the first to see what is inside the sleek new mall. Over the close to three-year-long renovation, the space got a whole new makeover not just in design, but also in its branding identity. We used to visit Funan to get cheap new electronics and tech gadgets, but now, it's also a place for so much more: retail shopping, working out, feasting on yummy food, enjoying the latest entertainment, and even learning more about plants. On top of all that, Funan is a great showcase of new and rising local brands. Many of the stores and amenities are also enhanced by smart features, making them worth a visit even if you have been to their other outlets.
With so many offerings and crowds to push through, it's good to plan where to visit beforehand. To help you out with that, here is our list of places you should not miss at Funan:
2. Love, Bonito (#02-09)
For this popular homegrown fashion label’s third and largest store, they are pulling out all the stops to offer women a shopping experience like no other. Inside the gorgeous soft pastel space, customers will find the latest collection of modern womenswear (including some Funan-exclusive limited edition tees) accompanied by digital features – strike a pose smelling the flowers along the AR walkway, and if you need a different size that the store does not have, use the tablets displayed to order it from the Love, Bonito online store right away. The label brings their signature modular fitting rooms to Funan and improves on it by replacing the blinds with folding doors, while also introducing two spacious and accessible VIP fitting rooms. Another service debuting at Funan that we love is the book-a-stylist service, where you can book a personal stylist to help you pick out what to wear for special occasions like weddings when you are short on time.
Outside of retail, the store also offers a safe space for women to gather as a community and interact. Look out for events and workshops coming up, diving beyond fashion and beauty into topics of health and wellness.
