Fodor's Expert Review Haji Lane

Need a break from Singapore's fun but sometimes suffocating mall culture? Head to the open air and this strip of restored shophouses, which stretches from Beach Road to North Bridge Road in Kampong Glam. Among the 50 indie fashion and lifestyle shops are Sup (trendy streetwear and limited-edition sneakers), Victoria Jomo (handbags, vintage jewelry, designer women's clothing), and The Salad Shop (imported housewares and fashions). The best way to tackle Haji Lane is to simply give yourself a few hours to wander and window-shop at random.
