Actually...
Located one street down from Cappellini and close to the Mint Museum of Toys, in a third floor walkup that runs over one half of an old shophouse. You’ll notice it because of the word “Actually…” spray painted on a square column just in front of the stairway.
While Actually carries several interesting accessories (Slauch Bicycle Tire Belts) and some well known labels (Le Tigre) it focuses on two things: high end jeans (Taverniti, Yen, Sacred Blue, Edwin, 575, etc.) and Freitag Bags. It has an entire room devoted to these bags, which are all made from recovered truck tarps and which are terribly popular among bike couriers and their would be counterparts in the United States. The staff is friendly and it is clear that they really like the goods that they carry. I’m inclined to agree.
Actually... 29a Seah Street Singapore
MINT MUSEUM OF TOYS
Just up the street from Actually... the Mint Toy Museum devotes five narrow floors in glasscased homage to classic American toys. Many of the characters, dolls, and trucks are from the 1930's to 1950's. I saw everything from early fritz the Cat to 1970's Batman. Many of the toys give me a strong Art Deco feel. There are a few European and Asian toys as well but the bulk of the collection will make you feel that you've been set down on your grandpa’s rug, surrounded by shiny plastic Popeye characters, playing with tin metal trucks while a western blares from the television behind you.
