Batik Uncle’s Shop in Holland V

By Changmoh • Monday, 4 March 2013 • Fash, More Dash than Cash

I like the idea of posting off a beautifully wrapped parcel to my godchildren containing something exotic and vaguely useful that they couldn’t buy at home (for most of them, that’s England, with one in New York).

I dashed here today for a quick stock up on presents for the small people I’ll be seeing on my trip away next week. ‘Batik Uncle’ is hidden away near the staircase on the rather dusty top level of the Holland Village Shopping Centre and he is a treasure.

His shop is chock full of batik fabrics that have been made in to every conceivable object, in all sorts of colours and sizes.

Whilst I am not sure I want a folding batik hat/apron/dress etc, I do want to buy his very sweet (providing you make the right colour choice) boys batik shirts costing just $15.

He doesn’t always have them in stock so it’s worth calling ahead.

Wellie Batik Fashion, #03-04 Holland Road Shopping Centre

    The Chinese Angmoh

    The Chinese Angmoh
    Why the strange name? Changmoh is an amalgamation of the words Chinese & 'Angmoh' (local speak for Caucasian should you be reading this in a country other than SG) // I'm an English girl living in Singapore and love the local way of life so much that I actually think I’m half Chinese. Maybe even three-quarters // Freelancer writer, author and editor ... you read it here first.
