Mimpi Singapore is the localised edition of our AI personal stylist case study. It keeps the conversational shopping experience, the virtual try-on and the editorial brand, but speaks Singapore: prices in S$ with 9% GST, addresses with postal codes, PDPA rights and a Data Protection Officer, and a palette of glass and greenery. The copy uses British spelling and local references, from Sentosa weddings to Bali weekends.

The brief
One conversation, local currency
Singapore shoppers expect speed, clarity and a brand that respects their data. The US case study already had a locale layer; for this edition we set the language to en-GB spelling, the currency to SGD with S$ and 9% GST, and the legal pages to the PDPA. The brand voice stays editorial and warm, with no Singlish in the interface. Occasions shift to local ones: a Sentosa wedding in June, a week in Bali, a weekend in Desaru. The result is a fashion discovery platform that feels at home in Singapore without losing the magazine feel.

Brand adaptation
The same Mimpi, with a local accent
The Singapore edition swaps the cool grey canvas for a mist green background and keeps white paper for content. Terracotta replaces raspberry as the accent, with a warm sand secondary and blush and sage tints for panels. Young Serif brings a soft editorial voice to headlines; Plus Jakarta Sans, designed in Southeast Asia, keeps the interface modern and legible. The wordmark stays Mimpi.
Homepage and key journeys
The homepage opens with a Duxton Hill archway and the conversational composer. The stylist method (Explore, Chat, Save, Refine) is illustrated with local prompts such as “Easy layers for a week in Bali” and “Saved to Weekend in Desaru”. The occasions grid leads with a Botanic Gardens wedding in May and a Phuket vacation wardrobe. The most distinctive flow is the composer: type a request, get an editorial reply with shoppable cards, then refine with one tap. Prices are in S$ and include GST.

One system, twelve markets
Every visible string lives in one file per market, and every colour and typeface in one theme file. This edition needed no new templates or components: a strings file, a theme, regional photography and local legal content made it a different brand experience. For a fashion label with international plans, a new market becomes a content project rather than a rebuild.

FAQ
How do you localise a fashion e-commerce site for Singapore?
Use S$ pricing with 9% GST, local addresses with postal codes, PDPA-compliant privacy and a Data Protection Officer, British spelling, and occasions that match Singapore life such as Sentosa weddings and Bali weekends.
Can the AI stylist handle local currency and sizing?
Yes. The locale layer sets SGD formatting and the product pages show prices in S$ with free shipping and returns. Sizing follows the brand’s own charts, with model measurements in centimetres.
Does the site meet Singapore privacy rules?
The privacy policy is written for the PDPA, lists PDPA rights and names a Data Protection Officer. Consent and data-use language is plain and specific.
