Bynd Artisan + Sunday Folks

Both a shopping experience and a cafe, this new concept store at ION celebrates the strong bond between two popular home-grown brands.

To some, it’s a buzzing new concept store where you can shop for artisanal leather goods and then eat cake. But fans of Bynd Artisan and Sunday Folks know the whole story. Beneath the polished sheen and glamour of their new store in ION Orchard is a story of friendship that goes back years.

In 2014, they opened next to each other in 2014 in the trendy Chip Bee Gardens. On getting to know each other, the founders – Bynd Artisan’s James Quan and wife Winnie Chan, who specialise in leather goods, and Sunday Folks’ cofounder Khoh Wan Chin, who started Creamier first in 2011 – realised that their vision and brand values were similar. After collaborations and business trips, their joint store at Ion stands testament to the strength of their friendship.
