Granny’s Day Out

My colleagues were shocked that I’ve never been to Granny’s Day Out before… Well, now i HAVE!
Anyway, if your Granny is having her day out wearing the clothes and accessories from this shop, she’s one helluva trendy Granny! And if you want to be like her, you can too! Just check out the range of vintage apparel and accessories handpicked by the owner of this shop from around the world.
Lovingly restored (as what’s indicated in their website), Granny’s Day Out sells handpicked vintage pieces from the 1920s to the 80s fashion. Personally feel that they have rather interesting pieces. Clothes are displayed based on their colour scheme so you can zoom in to the range of colours that appeal to you. From what I saw, at $ 99, one can buy a really decent dress.
If bags and other accessories like necklaces, rings and earrings are your thing, they have a pretty wide selection too. Love the unique necklace and earring sets and also interesting brooches. Too bad I wasnt really in the mood to shop when I was there but the place left an impression. Hopefully I get to go back soon.
Ladies, while your guy friends are busy checking out gadgets, soccer jerseys and other football merchandises, pamper yourself at Granny’s Day Out. It’s worth it. :)

Granny’s Day Out is located in a quiet corner of Cityhall, within Peninsula Shopping Centre, next to sport equipment shops and tattoo parlours. This eclectic and quirky vintage shop has managed to hold its own within the testerone driven building since 2004, an uncommon feat in SIngapore where everything is shape-​shifting. I remember coming here during my retail assistant days at Stamford House (a building that is currently undergoing restoration) since it was just a few minutes walk away, and Granny’s still looks the same today.
What sets Granny’s Day Out apart from the other vintage stores in Singapore is its jewellery collection, which is also sold online. You’ll be able to find some really outstanding and statement pieces here — necklaces to jazz up simple dresses, earrings to add a touch of elegance and brooches for timeless chic. There is quite a diverse collection of clothing here, from shirt dresses of the 1940s to worn out tees from the 1970s.
The store is usually manned by the owner or her parents, who are all lovely people. I’ve been taught how to wear a scarf and showed off-​the-​racks pieces before after striking up a conversation with them.
