These days, hotels in Singapore are rolling out a wide-range of staycation offers. One that’s guaranteed to make for an unforgettable memory is Capella Singapore, which is partnering two local talents, Josh Leong and Bill Cain, for a unique staycation package.
On Jan 12 and Jan 21, guests will be treated to an intimate salon experience with Leong and Cain at the Chef’s Table, Capella's private dining space. As guests learn about the artisans' respective crafts, they will be plied with cocktails and canapes.
Cain founded Hat of Cain to share his appreciation for toquilla straw hats. After spending time in Ecuador, he returned to Singapore to start Hat of Cain in 2012 in Joo Chiat.
Sourced directly from Ecuador and made exclusively for Hat of Cain, these hats are intricately handwoven by artisans in the town of Cuenca and Montecristi. During a private consultation with Cain, guests will learn about the rich history of Panama hats, how to style them, as well as handy aftercare tips.
Leong, founder of Palola, is one of few shoemakers in Singapore to offer hand-welted, made-to-order and bespoke footwear. Each pair of footwear is handcrafted using Italian shoemaking techniques.
