Singapore’s 61st birthday this 2026 has brought out a wave of local collaborations, and this year’s crop leans into what makes the island distinctly itself: otters by the reservoir, curry puffs from the corner store, MRT stations named after neighbourhoods, and the kopitiam down the road. Here are four collections putting a National Day spin on everyday icons.
By Invite Only: Otters Collection
Homegrown jewellery label By Invite Only has turned Singapore’s most photographed wildlife resident into a set of everyday accessories. The Otters Collection comprises four pieces in gold, silver and rose gold finishes: the River Otter Bracelet ($79), with a cubic zirconia detail set against a braided chain; the Barrage Otter Bracelet ($69), featuring an otter accented by a trio of cubic zirconia stones; and the Otterly Lovable Studs ($39) and Necklace ($79), both featuring an otter cradling a sparkling stone.
The collection is available online and in stores from 6 August 2026, with prices ranging from $39 to $79.

Lenskart x Old Chang Kee

Lenskart and Old Chang Kee have paired up for an eyewear collection built around the curry puff, one of Singapore’s most recognisable snacks. Launched on 30 July 2026, the collection includes three frame styles – Black Full Rim Square, Black Full Rim Round and Silver Full Rim Geometric, each priced at $150. Every pair comes with a curry puff-inspired spectacle case, a matching microfibre cloth and the brand’s signature Curry’O charm.
The collaboration is being brought to life through a travelling pop-up, currently at Suntec City until 9 August, before moving to VivoCity (10 to 16 August), Jurong Point (17 to 23 August) and Eastpoint Mall (24 to 30 August). Visitors can expect interactive activities and Old Chang Kee snacks at each stop.

Uniqlo x LTA
Uniqlo is marking SG61 with a UTme! collection developed with the Land Transport Authority, turning Singapore’s MRT neighbourhoods into wearable graphics. The tees feature exclusive illustrations by local artist Jon Tan, whose colourful style captures the character of individual neighbourhoods along the rail network. The collection sits within Uniqlo’s wider SG61 campaign, which also includes a month-long pop-up at Marina Bay Sands.

Kopitiam x Coca-Cola: Mini Bricks Collectible Set

Kopitiam and Coca-Cola have released their first physical collectible together: a set of mini brick-built dioramas recreating Singapore’s coffeeshop culture. The set comprises three designs – one pairing kopitiam favourites with Coca-Cola’s glass bottle and can, one recreating a traditional kopitiam shophouse, and a mystery Kopi Kiosk design revealed only upon redemption.
Availability is tight: the collectibles are sold only at eight participating Kopitiam outlets, with 160 full sets islandwide (20 per outlet) and no restocks once they’re gone. Each can of Coca-Cola Original Taste or Coca-Cola Zero Sugar earns one stamp, and eight stamps redeem a blind box; buying a 24-can carton ($38.80 nett) gets a full set of three designs immediately. The promotion runs from 1 to 31 August 2026.
