1. Making pleated bags
The studio of slow fashion brand Gin Lee in Singapore aims to minimize clothing waste. It is a structure that reduces waste caused by mass production while producing products according to demand. For example, if you purchase a bag, everything from the size of the bag to the color of the fabric, straps and finishing materials, and pleat design are custom-made according to the buyer's taste.
If you want to add a special memory here, you can also make a bag yourself. The place of experience is the MAKE studio located on one side of the truth studio store.
The first step in making a bag is choosing a bag fabric color and pleat design. You can freely choose from a variety of options, from achromatic colors to colorful primary colors. A total of three pleated designs. The signature patterns of Jinri Studio are Ivy, Wave and Gate.
Once you've set a big frame with the fabric design, it's time to choose the color of the bag strap and finishing material that goes with it. It looks small, but it is important because it can create a completely different feeling. It is an element that determines the atmosphere of the bag, so choose carefully.
The next step is to apply the most important pleat design. Semi-permanent pleats are created by putting the fabric between the pleat frames, fixing it firmly, and steaming it in a steamer. While the heat of the bag cools off, cut the strap of the bag and connect the strap to the bag to complete the bag making experience.
The cost of the bag-making experience varies depending on the size of the bag, from 68 Singapore dollars (about 66,000 won) to 98 Singapore dollars (about 96,000 won). Reservations can be made through the official website of Jinri Studio, and the experience is available at two locations: Raffles City Singapore and Great World.
2. The World in the Movie "Avatar"
If you are traveling to Singapore in the first half of this year, look for Gardens by the Bay. You can enjoy a more special trip to Singapore with the 'Avater: The experience' exhibition, which reproduces the planet Pandora in the movie 'Avatar'.
The exhibition venue is the Cloud Forest, which exhibits cloud forest vegetation. Rocks floating in the sky next to a cascading waterfall and a forest reproduce the appearance of the planet Pandora, capturing the attention and footsteps of the audience.
Plant and animal sculptures from the planet Pandora were installed between the exotic plants . Life-size creatures in the avatars, such as Illu, Ikran, and Sharkshuk, which blink as if they are alive, provide a realistic experience to the audience.

It is an experience facility located on the first floor of the Cloud Forest. You can enter each capsule one by one and see yourself transformed into a Na'vi.
The experience is simple. Enter the capsule, align your feet and upper body, stand still, and wait. After face recognition and avatarization, the image of a Na'vi with blue skin, large ears, and a large nose is reflected. It is a simple but fun experience that makes you laugh because you can find your face somewhere without knowing it.
The experience of flying around the planet Pandora as Ikran is also popular. It is an experience where you can control the Ikran directly on the screen, and continue to fly avoiding a group of rocks floating in the air. It recognizes movements and flies around according to the direction the body is moving, and it repeatedly rises and falls to provide a thrilling experience.
