What’s so special about the collection? Coachtopia is a new sub-brand which focuses on circular craft and collaborations with creatives. Old becomes new again as scraps of leather, fabrics and leftover material is repurposed into a collection – with some of its pieces being one of a kind.
Go shopping, create art and eat

This means colorful weaving patterns on cute little bags made from leftover leather strips and abstract patterns made from crushing small leather scraps together – the same print is also used in the display of the collection. One of the products you can find in the collection at the boutique is the Coachtopia Loop Quilted Cloud Tote with the bag’s shell and stuffing made from 100% recycled PET plastic.

Besides shopping, visitors can check out the Coachtopia Cloud Canvas, an interactive screen where your movements become art on a “cloudscape”. The interactive art installation is meant to be a group effort because every user generates a new layer of sound, adding to a collaborative song.

The in-house cafe run by Brawn & Brains has also curated a themed dessert menu specially for Coachtopia which features a cloud-esque gelatine cake which sits atop lychee-infused mousse and a jasmine tea latte with blue pea milk topped with a fluffy cotton candy cloud. The special menu will be available only after 6pm at the cafe.
Not shopping? Bring home a souvenir
