What goes around comes around, whether it’s in the world of pop culture or, of course, fashion. With all things ’90s and Y2K making a comeback—from retro sneakers to headgear—we’ve also seen the rise of vintage stores with a careful curation of pieces from, or inspired by, those eras. Whether your Pinterest board is more Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy or Carrie Bradshaw, we’ve shortlisted a selection of vintage stores worth checking out right here in Singapore.

1. Zabu Boutique
Zabu Boutique is the kind of store that understands the girl who wants it both ways: understated ’90s minimalism and early 2000’s flash. It’s for the kind of dresser who admires Gwyneth Paltrow’s laidback but still put-together outfits and Paris Hilton’s rhinestone-studded everything—and now want to reflect that very duality in their own wardrobe.
On its racks, you’ll find vintage gems from labels like Miu Miu, DKNY, Ralph Lauren and Armani—think satin slip dresses, midi skirts, low-rise trousers and logo tanks. To finish your look: retro sunnies, rare Chloé shoulder bags, and a leather belt or two. So if you’re in the process of building a closet with character, keep Zabu Boutique in mind.
Zabu Boutique is located at #01-13 Burlington Square,175 Bencoolen Street, Singapore 189649. For more information, visit its website.
2. Dirty Laundry
Dirty Laundry may be small in space, but it’s big on attitude. Moody and off-kilter, this store is a dream for fashion lovers with a taste for the unconventional. It’s a space where leather jackets hang beside tees with loud patterns, and vintage bags are positioned nonchalantly on a coat rack.
What makes Dirty Laundry special is its unfiltered commitment to subculture and everything alt. Here, you’ll find pre-loved clothes from brands like Ferragamo, DolceandGabanna, and Diesel that channel punk, goth and glam rock—often with distressed details and dramatic silhouettes that wouldn’t look out of place in a McQueen runway show. For those who wear their fits like armour, this store should be next on your to-check-out list.
Dirty Laundry is located at #01-13 Burlington Square, 175 Bencoolen Street, Singapore 189649.
