The next time you plan a getaway to Bangkok, make sure retail therapy at Urban Revivo and BENLAI in One Bangkok Mall is on your agenda.

A global vision with local flair
Did you know Urban Revivo (formerly known as Urban Renewal) now boasts over 400 stores worldwide?
One can’t help but compare it to Spanish fast-fashion giant Zara, but Urban Revivo is carving its unique path with trendier, bolder designs targeted at a younger audience. According to CEO Leo Li, Urban Revivo positions itself as somewhat of a Chanel to Zara’s Dior — similar fast fashion frameworks but distinct DNAs.

Urban Revivo is on its way toward global dominance. The brand’s expansion shows no signs of slowing down, with iconic openings slated for 2025 in global fashion capitals like New York’s Soho, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
Sustainability in style
It’s still fast fashion, but it’s heartening to hear that Urban Revivo is addressing fashion’s environmental impact with a conscious approach. In 2019, it launched an eco-friendly capsule collection featuring REPREVE, a recycled polyester made from plastic bottles and certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS). In 2023, the brand partnered with TENCEL for an autumn collection, further solidifying its commitment to sustainable fashion.

The One Bangkok store embraces sustainability through its design, blending fashion, art, nature, and technology. Waste fabrics from their factories are used in the store’s art installations, hinting at potential local artist collaborations in the future. Would the same design philosophy be applied in Singapore? Creative director Mr L Kang says yes.

Introducing BENLAI
While exploring One Bangkok Mall, don’t miss BENLAI, another exciting addition to the Southeast Asian retail scene. This is BENLAI’s first store in the region and part of its growing portfolio of 21 outlets worldwide.
BENLAI, which translates to “Originally” in Chinese, strikes a balance between performance and casual wear, offering versatile pieces crafted from sustainable fabrics. Think of it as the sweet spot between activewear giants like Lululemon and Nike and everyday comfort staples like Uniqlo and GAP. Designed for function and comfort, BENLAI pieces transition effortlessly from the office to the park.
Where to find them in Singapore
Urban Revivo already has a presence in Singapore, with stores at Raffles City Shopping Centre and Jewel Changi Airport. However, fans of BENLAI might have to wait — there’s no news yet on plans to bring the brand to our shores.
Whether you’re hunting for trend-forward styles or versatile athleisure, Urban Revivo and BENLAI at One Bangkok Mall promise a retail experience that’s equal parts fashion-forward and future-conscious.
