Pop-up markets and vintage shopping is all the rage right now, and for good reason. If you're looking to spruce up your closet with funky prints, or to support some local business, here are a few upcoming pop-up flea markets and vintage fairs to check out in Singapore.
The Hammock Market
An emporium for fine buys and great steals, the Hammock market has become a Saturday ritual among avid flea market goers. Held every Saturday, the market takes place at the level 1 atrium of Aperia Mall and brings together over 30 personalities and creators selling their coveted preloved garments, handmade jewellery, homeware and more in hammocks. To elevate your digging fun, you can also look forward to a multitude of rotating activities including getting free Jagua tattoos, tarot reading, custom poems, and have your very own caricature illustrations created.

A similar concept to the aforementioned Hammock Market, The Luggage Market is held every Sunday at Aperia Mall. This time instead of hammocks, at this novelty market you'll find tons of sellers setting up their stations with packed luggage of pre-loved clothing and items. Head down and unpack all 30-60 booths with pieces starting at just $2. To refuel, you can also catch a bite to eat at the nearby restaurants and fast food spots.

At the urban outdoor market shop from a collection of clothes, homeware, and accessories, explore new brands, and connect with like-minded people. Did we mention the abundant food options and groovy music to keep things all the more interesting? The gathering is also open to all, even little ones and furry friends.
