Mention the word shopping and one would immediately think of those posh, neat and air-conditioned malls. However, that is not all Singapore has to offer.
For those with a tight wallet or an adventurous spirit, there is a second option to shop from and that would be a vibrant flea market.
Flea markets are like treasure coves, traditionally used to sell second hand goods. It has now become a platform for many entrepreneurs and companies to reach out to their customers.
One such company would be The Feline Bridal, a boutique specializing in “tailor to wear” for women, that have evolved into a speciality Bridal boutique is one such company that have stepped forward onto the platform.
The promoter explained that they had hoped to reach out to their target customers like families, couples and teenagers as they provide photo shoot service for other occasions other than weddings.
Well, wedding bells aside, common finds would most probably be second hand goods or blogshop vendors selling clothes, accessories and food product. The prices are mostly quite affordable, bring $50 and you would be sure to go home with a bags of treasures with change to spare.
If you are more interested in fashion, you might want to give the flea markets held at scape youth park or Haji Lane a try. If you are a budding artist or art appreciator, do head on down to The Red Dot Museum where young and rising artist sells their art pieces, though be prepared to spend a little more than at your average flea market.
