In this article (4)

Polène, the renowned French luxury leather goods company, has opened its first boutique in Singapore at Marina Bay Sands, the iconic destination designed by architect Moshe Safdie. Spanning 84 square metres, the store draws inspiration from traditional fishing dwellings and features a distinctive canopy of suspended leather panels that distributes light evenly throughout the space.

According to Polène, each panel was meticulously handwoven using premium full-grain Italian leather. The striking walnut finishes and clean architectural lines create a richly tactile and welcoming retail environment.

The boutique also features an installation titled “Craft at Work – A Puzzle of Leather”, offering customers an intimate look at the construction process behind the brand’s products.

As part of the installation, an innovative machine developed specifically for the Singapore boutique allows visitors to observe the precision involved in cutting the 36 individual leather pieces that make up the Mokki bag. The pieces are subsequently assembled by skilled artisans in Ubrique, Spain.

The opening of the Singapore boutique follows Polène’s recent expansion into other international markets, including China, the US, Japan and South Korea.
