DORS heads east to i12 Katong with 40 of your favourite local brands while our flagship store gets a make-over. 

Despite the store refresh, DORS isn’t slowing down. We’re headed to i12 Katong for a brand-new pop-up experience, opening 19 April, and we’re bringing a little slice of Orchard Road (and over 40 local brands) along for the ride. 

Is the east side really the best side? We’re about to find out. Katong, with its blend of heritage, food, and laidback charm, feels like the perfect match for DORS. It’s a neighbourhood that knows how to hold history and trendiness in the same breath—just like we do. 

At the pop-up, you’ll find a tightly curated selection of some of our most-loved pieces—designed, made, and inspired by life in Singapore. 

A Taste of What You’ll Find at the Pop-Up: 

 


A nod to one of Singapore’s most character-rich neighbourhoods, this bracelet is full of heritage charm. Inspired by the tiled walkways, Peranakan mosaics, and shophouse pastels of Joo Chiat, it’s a subtle but striking piece that tells a story. Wear it as a reminder of home, or gift it to someone who needs a little bit of Singapore with them, wherever they are. 

 

This candle smells like memory sun, salt, and the comfort of weekends at the beach. It’s an olfactory love letter to East Coast Park, with notes of sand, sea breeze, and that blissful feeling of being just far enough away from the city. Light it up and bring a bit of the coast into your everyday. 


Some mornings need a little motivation—and a lot of coffee. These socks say it so you don’t have to: “More Espresso, Less Depresso.” Made for comfort, designed for caffeine addicts, they’re a small but mighty mood booster. Whether you’re powering through work or lounging with your third kopi, they’re here for it. 

And That’s Just the Start... 

Our i12 Katong pop-up will feature an evolving line-up of goods from over 40 independent local brands—from wearables and wellness to lifestyle and home. Whether you’re a longtime DORS devotee or just browsing for something new, you’ll find pieces that speak to Singapore’s vibrant, ever-changing identity. 

While our Design Orchard space undergoes its refresh, our online store remains open with free shipping, so you can still shop our full collection from anywhere: dors.com.sg. 

Come by, say hi, and explore a refreshed DORS experience this time with east side flavour. Who knows, you might just leave convinced that yes, the east side really is the best side.
