                      Kevin Seah Bespoke
Tucked away in a nondescript shop-lot, visitors on the hunt for Kevin Seah Bespoke will need to keep an eye out for the lone white rabbit sign, which is based on the founder’s birth year in the Chinese zodiac. Inside the stylish parlour of one of the best bespoke tailors in Singapore is an impressive stable of haberdashery set within a gentleman’s lounge-like ambience. Also on display are various vintage watches and unique leather shoes from renowned labels like Masaru Okuyama and Foster & Son. But what truly makes this truly a hidden gem would be the in-house Mason and Smith Shoe Shine Bar that specialises in ensuring that your most precious leather possessions will stand the test of time.
