Your brand name, Lim’s Holland Village,
includes your location. Why?
Holland Village played, and still is playing, a big
part in our lives. My dad has always loved this area
and it was the first location he put his business roots
down in after moving out of Changi in the 1970s.
Consequently, my parents moved to the Holland
area and this is where my sisters and I grew up. I
fondly remember being brought to work as a child
by my dad, then progressing to being a cashier for my
holiday job. With so many memories here, it’s fitting
to make Holland Village an integral part of the brand.

Will we see a second
Lim’s Holland Village store?
We currently only have the one store in
Holland Village. We don’t know what the
future has in store for us, but for now we are
placing our focus on fine-tuning our selection
and operations. If there is one thing we have
learnt in the last year, laying good groundwork
is fundamental. It allows us to make swift
business decisions to adapt to the ever-
changing wants and needs of our customers.

So what can we expect for the
rest of 2018?
I don’t know where to begin! Our India,
Myanmar and Cambodia trips have been
extremely fruitful and we are expecting an
influx of colours, textures and culture in the
coming months. Be it homeware and décor for
your own home, or a welcome or farewell gift
for a friend, you can expect to find something
for everyone at Lim’s Holland Village.ffff
