Running a business in Singapore is no walk in the park – which makes The Closet Lover’s (TCL) 17-year run all the more impressive. But even good things come to an end, and the beloved homegrown fashion label has announced that it will officially close on June 15, 2025.

Founded by sisters Bertilla and Brianna Wong, TCL began in 2007 as a humble blogshop run out of their bedroom, with the duo packing orders by hand. Over the years, the brand gained a following for its wide range of apparel, from casual staples to chic occasion wear, offering styles that are versatile for anyone and everyone. TCL soon became a favourite among local shoppers and eventually opened three physical stores in Orchard, Bugis, and Tampines. Today, the brand boasts over 137,000 followers on Instagram.
