Hip-Street finds

MOVE over coffee joints. The latest hipster venture to be in is retail - selling specially curated lifestyle products, from notebooks to fashion accessories, home accessories and even bicycles.

Take a new kid on the block - the Redundant Shop at Everton Park, which opened last month. Tucked under a block of flats in this emerging hipster neighbourhood no less, founder Watson Lee says the idea came about after readers of his Redundant Magazine started asking where they could find the cool stuff they read about. "We started off as an online shop before moving into a physical one."

The shop carries products from all around the world, including KiBiSi from Denmark, Diamantina & La Perla from Colombia, and local labels such as Ang Ku Kueh Girl, Desinere and Woon Hung.
