Staycay and Shop Local

Written by: Poppy Skinner Created: 06 January 2021

That's a win-win in our books

When our borders shut back in March, aside from worrying about friends and family far afield, of course our next thought was what on earth would we do for holidays? Well, with a marvellous medley of hotels right here in Singapore, we really didn't need to worry as they began rolling out a plethora of packages and staycation became the new buzz word.

So, nearly a year of staycations later, the Capella have just come up with a way we can holiday and support local artists with their two events happening right this month. On 12th January and 21st January, you can have the chance to not only enjoy all the marvellous amenities the Capella has but with this package you can enjoy a private consultation with the artisans from Hat of Cain and Palola, 2 homegrown labels. While cocktails and canapes are served, Hat of Cain's Bill Cain will talk lucky guests through the rich history of the Panama hats and offer styling advice as well as aftercare tips while Palola's Josh Leong will explain what led him to leave his tennis coaching career to move to Italy and train as a bespoke shoemaker.

Not only that, but you will walk away with either 1 hat and 1 pair of shoes or 2 hats or 2 pairs of shoes as well as daily breakfast for two at The Knolls, complimentary parking and guest benefits as resort activities. For more information, see here.
