FLEA MARKETS IN SINGAPORE:

BAZAARS TO SHOP FOR SECOND-HAND CLOTHES, ARTISANAL HOMEWARES AND RARE GEMS

Skip mainstream shopping malls and thrift shop at these awesome flea markets and alternative pop-ups around town

Boutiques at The Pit Building, Singapore

Singapore is a shopping paradise, but not just because we have world-class malls and heaps of cool indie boutiques. The city is also rife with weekend flea markets and bazaars for your fill of one-of-a-kind furniture, locally-produced food, handmade goodies, vintage wares and all sorts of wonderful steals. To make retail therapy a little easier, we’ve gone and done the dirty work, rounding up the best flea markets (and their organisers) around town.
