Local fashion label Rawbought has launched its first linen line, Terra Collection. Known for its comfy loungewear and sleepwear made of materials such as modal, the brand has introduced a blend of 23 per cent linen and 77 per cent viscose, offering a luxurious twist on traditional linen, which requires time to soften and is prone to wrinkling.
Available in two timeless shades, Sand and Coal, the minimalist pieces are perfect for mixing and matching. Prices range from $55 for the V-Neck Lounge Tank to $99 for Wide Leg Trousers.
Founded in 2020 as an online store, Rawbought is run by sisters Soukaina, Boutaina and Amira Faruq, whose family has ties to garment manufacturing in Bangladesh and supplies some of Europe’s largest apparel companies.

British fragrance house Penhaligon’s has opened its first counter here at Tangs at Tang Plaza. It also has two standalone boutiques at Ion Orchard and The Shoppes @ Marina Bay Sands.
The new counter takes fragrance lovers through Penhaligon’s most beloved collections.
Take a fragrant stroll through British Tales, where each scent comes with a story, or let the exotic ingredients of the Trade Routes collection transport you to far-off lands. For a taste of aristocratic British charm, the Portraits Collection offers a whimsical look at high society, while the Potions & Remedies collection revives Penhaligon’s heritage formulas, offering fragrance-infused “remedies” to uplift your spirits.
Prices start at $52 for a hand cream and go up to $435 for a fragrance from the Portraits Collection.
The brand’s legacy dates back to 1870, when founder William Penhaligon, a Cornish barber, created his first perfume, Hammam Bouquet, inspired by Turkish baths.
Since then, it has earned three Royal Warrants in Britain, awarded to those who provide exceptional goods or services to the royal household.
Info: Penhaligon’s new counter is at Tangs at Tang Plaza, 310 Orchard Road

Rare Beauty, the beauty brand owned by American star Selena Gomez, has just launched its latest skincare product, Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash ($41 for 250ml). It joins other products from the Find Comfort collection, which includes a body and hair fragrance mist and a body lotion.
Formulated with plant-derived konjac jelly as well as botanical extracts like peach flower, ashwagandha and avocado, this jelly body wash lathers into a creamy, milky texture that claims to exfoliate without stripping your skin’s natural oils.
These skin-loving ingredients are said to work to soothe and renew the skin, improving texture while offering a glow that lasts. Created for all skin types, it is infused with the uplifting scents of lemon zest, jasmine petals and warm cashmere wood.
In honour of World Mental Health Day on Oct 10, the brand is joining forces with Sephora for the Make A Rare Impact Campaign, furthering the brand’s mission of inclusivity and mental health advocacy.
On this day, 100 per cent of global total sales from Rare Beauty products – with a cap of €200,000 (S$286,000) for certain regions, including South-east Asia – will go to the Rare Impact Fund, which supports 26 organisations across five continents to expand access to mental health services and education for young people.
Info: Find Comfort Gentle Exfoliating Body Wash is available at Sephora stores, from its app and online at sephora.sg
