Raffles Takes Its 1947 Singapore Boutique Global With The Little Shop

A porcelain cup patterned with palms and a deep-green Smythson notebook are two ways to take a little of Raffles home. On 2 November 2026, Raffles Hotels & Resorts launched The Little Shop by Raffles, its first global online store.

The name goes back to 1947, when the original Little Shop opened at Raffles Singapore. Nearly eight decades later, the new shop gives people a way to buy into the hotel’s aesthetic from wherever they live.

What The Little Shop by Raffles sells

Raffles developed its own ready-to-wear collection with creative director Jessica Diehl. Cashmere sweaters and polos carry the Raffles crest, caftans pick up the house print, and the The Butler Did It collection includes embroidered velvet slippers made in Italy. The collaborations take the same aesthetic into other parts of a stay. Ginori 1735 puts the Raffles palm print on porcelain, Christofle makes a coffee cup for the collection, and Globe-Trotter supplies carry-on cases.

The US shop lists the Ginori 1735 candle at $250, the Smythson notebook at $290 and the Christofle coffee cup at $450. Raffles offers shipping across the United States and handles international orders, including enquiries from India, by request. Select pieces are also being offered at Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris, Raffles London at The OWO and Raffles Boston.

The LuxuryAbode View

The Little Shop turns familiar hotel rituals into objects people can use at home. A guest might remember a slow breakfast or the feel of settling into a suite. A porcelain cup or a pair of velvet slippers gives that memory a place in everyday life. It also gives people who have never stayed at a Raffles a way to encounter the brand through something they can use.

Raffles already has a presence in India through the Raffles Jaipur hotel and the Raffles Udaipur hotel. The global shop gives guests familiar with those hotels a way to enquire about the collection after they return home. The next test for Raffles is whether customers come back to the shop between stays, drawn by the pieces themselves.

LuxuryAbode welcomes conversations with hotels and design houses bringing the craft of hospitality into everyday life.
