Boutiques Asia: The Bangkok Edition 2026 will bring together more than 120 independent brands and designers from various Asian countries, including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan. While Singaporean labels will remain central, the fair will also showcase a curated selection of Thai brands and creatives, alongside international participants.
Since its inception in 2002, Boutiques has cultivated a loyal following by offering a unique mix of fashion, beauty, food, and home decor. Beyond just shopping, the fair is renowned for providing a platform for visitors to connect directly with the founders and makers behind the products, fostering an environment of creativity, craftsmanship, and discovery.
Charlotte Cain, the founder of Boutiques, stated that expanding into Bangkok was a logical progression. "As we expand beyond Singapore for the first time, we wanted to bring that same spirit into a new market. By coming together as a collective, brands are able to create a stronger presence and make a bigger impression," she explained. The Bangkok edition is expected to be more intimate than its Singapore counterpart, which featured 320 brands, with over 120 brands participating in the Thai capital.
