Takashimaya

This mammoth, Japanese-owned department store inside the huge Ngee Ann City mall carries all the chi-chi fashion labels that appeal to the rich tourists who frequent the place. Big fashion names – Cartier, Gucci, Georg Jensen, Bulgari, Fendi and so on – dot the shop with mini replicas of their larger flagship stores. Expect jostling for the latest Dior bag or Hermès scarf.
