Women Power

As we celebrate International Women's Day this month, let retail collective A Raft of Otters stand as a testament to the strength, creativity and unity that women bring to the forefront of business and community.

Situated in Tanglin Mall, A Raft of Otters is the visionary creation of Diane Hall - a lively collective showcasing over 40 small, female-led brands offering unique, design-driven and ethically sourced homeware, fashion, gifts and jewellery.

Explaining the distinctive name, Diane says: "A raft is the collective noun for a group of otters. Otters work together to collectively support each other and hold hands so they don't drift apart! Their diligent work ethic, social nature, creativity, playfulness and unwavering loyalty inspired the very essence of our store."

In the spirit of celebrating collaboration and empowerment, here we introduce the women behind three businesses at "The Raft", all of them contributors to the vibrant tapestry of the collective.
