Raise Your Glass

How does a storied brand celebrate its 130th anniversary? If you were Braun Büffel, you’d throw your birthday bash at the most stylish venue in town—National Gallery Singapore—complete with a very special guest appearance. The German luxury leather goods label kicked off the evening with Hollywood A- lister Orlando Bloom and Braun Büff el’s Managing Director Mrs. Christiane Brunk toasting to the brand’s milestone. DJ Patrick Oliver then took over the decks, while guests including Charmaine Seah-Ong, Carla Dunareanu and Christabel Chua had a ball of a time and revelled the night away.
