Looking for Polly Pocket in Singapore? By Invite Only has launched a nostalgic jewellery collection with seashell studs, charm necklaces and bracelets.
Who remembers Polly Pocket? Singapore jewellery brand, By Invite Only sure does. This jewellery shop in Singapore has launched a collection inspired by Mattel’s iconic micro dolls. Titled ‘Pocketful of Summer’, this collection lets you take a piece of this nostalgic world with you through minimalist jewellery pieces that’ll go with your everyday outfits.
The Y2K nostalgia is in the details
Those who loved Polly Pocket’s Mermaid Dreams keepsakes would go heart-eyed for the seashell references in this collection. I spotted adorable Shelly studs ($69) and the Shell necklace ($109) – all in fittingly dainty sizes, of course.
Here’s a little Easter egg: pop open the seashell charm on the necklace and you see the phrase “Original Homebody” inscribed within. Is it a nod to the old-school “Homebody” slogan tees from Retrokid’s Polly Pocket collection, or an homage to the cosy nostalgia of Polly Pocket’s pocket-sized homes? I can’t say for sure, but this charm is an understated way to rep Y2K nostalgia.
Build your own Polly Pocket jewellery
If you’re missing the joy of building outfits for your dolls, channel your creativity to building out your own Twin Hearts charm necklace ($98) or Twin Hearts charm bracelet ($89) with charms (from $59) inspired by the Polly Pocket world. (The necklace, bracelet and charms are available in both gold and silver.) I love that the heart-shaped detail on both the necklace and bracelet chain also functions as the fastening, which gives a cleaner look with no visible clasp or extender chain.
Due to their size, the clip-on charms do take a little practice if you’ve got long nails like me. (If in doubt, just ask one of the staff to clip them on for you!) Overall, the clips are very secure and the charms are plenty cute.
In the mood for something ready-made? Cop the Polly Pocket Summer bracelets ($109) that come decked out in 5 charms. Just note that the chain links on this are smaller than the Twin Hearts charm bracelet, so the DIY clip-on charms won’t fit.
Shop the Polly Pocket collection in Singapore
When it comes to the shopping experience, I highly recommend getting your retail therapy fix at By Invite Only’s flagship store at Raffles City. It’s the brand’s largest space, stocking all the previous special collections (think collections like Miffy, Tutu, The Otters and more), as well as bestsellers like its Casablanca range and sparkling tennis bracelets that immediately brought out my magpie tendencies.
Plus, peep this vintage typewriter wall. To the right there’s even a post box where you can write a letter (be sure to include your address!), drop in your postcard, and you or your loved one will receive the letter at a future date. It’s completely complimentary, no minimum spend needed.
If you grew up with Polly Pocket, this By Invite Only’s Pocketful of Summer collection makes a pretty convincing case for bringing a little piece of that nostalgia back into your jewellery box. Consider this your excuse to play dress-up again – only this time, the accessories are for you.
