Sixteen Summers & A Space Called Home

Sixteen Summers & A Space Called Home


The Store, The Soul, The Sixteen

There’s a quiet kind of joy in building something from the ground up.

When we opened the doors to our newly expanded Y21 Bugis Store on 13 August 2024, it marked more than just a space, it reflected our love for city resort living and everything we stand for.


PART I

A New Chapter at Bugis


T
ucked inside 200 Victoria Street, #02-34/35, our Bugis flagship is more than a store, it’s a feeling.



Created in collaboration with local design studio, STUDIO GIN&G, the space reflects our dream of city-resort living: thoughtful, warm, quietly confident.


F
rom the recycled plastic countertop by The Panelogue to the soft rhythm of light and textures, every detail was chosen with care.

Captured beautifully by Franz (@kobalthour on Instagram), it’s a place where stories begin, and maybe, where you’ll find a little piece of yours too.

Whether you’re browsing for a new silhouette or simply passing through, there’s a certain stillness here that lingers long after you leave.



PART II

A Sweet 16 to Remember

 This past May, we celebrated a beautiful milestone : Y21’s 16th Anniversary.

We hosted a cozy event on Saturday, 24 May 2025, right at our Bugis Store. The space was filled with the hum of conversation, little creative moments, and warm faces, many friends, long-time customers, and first-timers drawn in by our story.

On the day of our anniversary, Jarenis, our founder and CEO shared a heartfelt note on social media, reflecting on the journey behind us and the one still unfolding.



I
t reminded us that the heart of Y21 has always been about connection, shaped by the beautiful community that continues to grow with us.

Whether you’ve just discovered us or been here since the beginning.

Thank you for being here. Always.

If you haven’t visited our Bugis Store yet, we’d love to welcome you in. You’ll know when you feel it.

With love,

Y21
