Founded in 2010 by sisters Phua Joycelyn and Phua Yin, the brand originated during the peak of Singapore’s blogshop era. It transitioned from a digital-first platform to a multi-channel retailer with physical storefronts. The Tinsel Rack is significant for its role in professionalizing the independent online boutique model in the region. Its evolution reflects the broader shift in the Singaporean fashion industry from informal social media commerce to structured, design-led corporate entities.
