Keds Is Having Its First Ever Pop-Up With Handicraft Workshops And New Sneaker Launches

Keds’ First Retail Pop-Up In Orchard Central

From basic slip-ons to glitter lace-ups, Keds’ classic and fun designs make them the perfect footwear for many different outfits and occasions. Keds is also known for its collaborations with popular brands like Kate Spade New York and Rifle Paper Co.

Keds will be having its first ever pop-up store in Singapore at Orchard Central, Level 1 Atrium, from now to 24 March.

You can expect exclusive merchandise, engaging workshops, pretty Instagram-worthy spots and even an International Women’s Day wall where you can pin up encouraging messages.

For every pair of shoes purchased at the pop-up, you can choose between a complimentary lace replacement service or lace charm inserts. You will receive an exclusive tote bag designed by The Brave Assembly if you spend a minimum of $100 as well. UOB cardholders can also receive a 10% discount when they spend a minimum of $130 at the pop-up.

Rifle Paper Co.’s latest collaboration will launch first at Keds’ pop-up store, so be sure to drop by if you fancy these flower-adorned shoes.

You will also be able to instantly up your art and handicraft skills with 3 workshops conducted by popular artisans at the pop-up store. Tickets to each workshop cost $80 and come with a $50 voucher, which can be used in the pop-up store when you purchase a new pair of Keds shoes.
