Public Garden Consumer Trade Show

This June, Public Garden will be holding the first Public Garden Consumer Trade Show. It is the premiere gathering of the best independent labels and brands of Southeast Asia. Held at Suntec Convention Hall 403, this will be the largest event presented by Public Garden.

Public Garden is about being Better Together. It attracts the best of progressive brands and directional designers from the region. This will be the first independent event in Singapore to bring together creative regional businesses all in one place, bringing Public Garden’s mission to fruition.

Participating brands and retailers come from both the offline and online arena, from cities such as Brunei, Johor Bahru, Bandung, Chiang Mai, Jakarta, Bangkok, Bali, Singapore, Penang, Jogjakarta and Kuala Lumpur.

Run by individuals from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, participating brands at Public Garden’s first Consumer Trade Show are often unrivalled in their home cities in terms of brand concept, marketing direction and merchandise offering. Regional brands with highly-focused, unique global retail concepts will be able to connect and network physically with their peers for the first time.

Singapore vendors will be able to interact and befriend vendors from neighbouring cities. Creating friendships between vendors will help local brands to foster relationships, helping them to bring their brands overseas or acquire manufacturing contacts.

Singapore-based shoppers will be in for a treat, browsing product designs and merchandise which have never before reached the shores of Singapore. Tourists and visitors who are in town during the weekend of Sat 13 June will be able to visit just one place to explore and understand the depth of talent and independent thinkers found within Southeast Asia.

Some of the vendors include Thailand based [La-Jewellery](https://www.facebook.com/lajewellry) and [Emaley Studio](http://emaley.com/) phonecases, Singaporean [Shuang Scrubs](http://www.shuangscrubs.com/), Malaysian [Mossery](http://www.mossery.co/) Stationery, and Indonesian resin jewellery [GreedySassy](https://www.facebook.com/greedysassyresinjewelries)

Public Garden Consumer Trade Show is held in conjunction with Public Garden’s fourth year anniversary. After 4 years, it is time for the Public Garden Team to bring this community of small businesses and savvy individuals to a regional level, creating a network of trade and contacts between small creative online and offline Southeast Asian entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

The event will take place on Saturday 13 June 2015 from 1PM – 7PM at Convention Hall 403 Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre.
