ประวัติ
Established in 2006, A for Arcade originated as a small-scale venture on the LiveJournal platform. It played a significant role in the early digital transformation of Singapore’s retail landscape, transitioning from a social media-based storefront to an independent e-commerce entity. The brand’s evolution reflects the broader shift in regional fashion history from traditional brick-and-mortar models to community-driven online boutiques, influencing the growth of the local independent apparel industry.
