Shopping these days is not just about zipping into the store and grabbing what you need. It's also about enjoying the ambience that retailers have painstakingly created to enhance the shopping experience. Marina Bay Sands Shoppe is the latest mall in Singapore to offer new shopping experiences, with new to Singapore labels and familiar ones that offer different and interesting shopping concepts.
For the love of bling
Inspired by the iconic Tiffany Blue Box, Tiffany & Co.'s latest store to be added to the American jeweller's retail outlets at the Marina Bay Shoppes features subtle touches of blue throughout its design and decorative layers. Besides shopping for jewels, there is beautiful artwork such as a unique hand-tinted photograph created exclusively for Tiffany & Co. by New York photographer Layla Love, an image with hues of Tiffany blue that takes its reference from one of the brand's iconic inspirations - the magnolia bloom.
Other design elements include a an antique Sunburst sculpture and an abstract landscape of blue spheres created with layers of resin, pigments, and metallics that was exclusively commissioned for the store.

For the It bag
Yet another handbag retailer to satisfy women's neverending lust for bags.
Leather handbag brand Rabeanco officially opened its newest flagship store at the new Marina Bay Sands on April 27, 2010. With a design concept inspired by Modern Art Master Piet Mondrian, his "basic forms of beauty" are transformed into an utterly modern showcase with a fascinating combination of lines and rectangles in monotone background, to better show off handbags in strikingly brilliant colours, which then look like a contemporary piece of art.
You will find handbags, pouches and wallets crafted in calfskin and lambskin with designs that are minimal and functional in a plethora of colours and styles. Look out for the Viaggio bag, a modernised take of the popular 1930s travel bag
Items retail from $40 to $700.
For a bit of relaxation
It's a world-class brand name in the spa industry, with locales as exotic as UAE to Maldives, and the Banyan Tree has finally come home with a spanking new Spa and Health Club in the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
Located on the 55th storey of the hotel with 20,000 square feet that has 15 nature-inspired treatment rooms and a gym and cardio corner where guests can do Pilates and yoga as well as a juice spa, it's a way to escape from it all with a home-away-from-experience.
