Hunting for a Birkin in Southeast Asia no longer means a trip to Singapore's consignment stores. Belle&Kate ROOM, the showroom of Indonesian luxury resale brand Belle&Kate, sits at Fairgrounds in Jakarta's SCBD business district and stocks pre-owned handbags, watches and jewellery from the biggest names in fashion and horology.
The boutique is the physical home of a company founded in 2016, and its inventory rotates constantly. On any given visit you might find Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dior bags and shoes, watches from Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Richard Mille, plus Cartier jewellery. Because everything is displayed in person, buyers can check condition, materials and serial details before committing — a real advantage over buying resale online, especially for a first luxury purchase. There's a personal flourish too: purchases arrive with personalised letters and printed portraits.
Beyond shopping, the shop works as a service hub for collectors. You can sell pieces outright, trade them against something in the collection, or put them on consignment. If your favourite bag needs help, ReFresh Leather Care runs a dedicated spa-style cleaning and maintenance service for luxury leather goods — handy for anyone planning to keep a piece for the long haul.
If you'd rather browse from your hotel room, the full collection is on Belle&Kate's website and its app (iOS and Android). The brand has also crossed the equator: KOLLECTIVE by Belle&Kate in Singapore's Joo Chiat neighbourhood mixes vintage luxury with independent fashion and lifestyle labels.
There's a sweetener for anyone flying in on Singapore Airlines. Show a boarding pass dated within the past 30 days and you'll get IDR500,000 (about $35) off any item, with bigger discounts — up to IDR5,000,000 (roughly $354) — on purchases starting from IDR100 million. Offers can't be combined and terms apply. The boutique opens daily from 10am to 7pm.
For travellers, the appeal is simple: Jakarta's SCBD district pairs this boutique with the wider Fairgrounds dining and retail compound, so a luxury-hunting detour slots easily into a city break. Serious collectors get a changing stock of grail-level bags and watches; the curious get a low-pressure way to learn the resale market. And if you're flying Singapore Airlines anyway, the boarding-pass discount knocks a little more off the price.
