We’re in the heat of summer now, and it’s time to find new favorites if you’re keen! Your favorite brands and collectives have a whole new set of pop-up weekend markets all around the Metro (and beyond) this month, and we so badly want to hit all of them—not necessarily just to shop ’til we drop, but even just to explore, hang out with the besties, grab a bite at, and more. From clothing swaps to art markets with vintage trinkets, summer wardrobe essentials, and more, we’ve got the latest roundup of weekend markets and pop-ups this April to get your summer going.
SUMMER SWAP SESSION
Closet swaps are so in, and we love being able to refresh our wardrobe without 1) spending too much, and 2) having what we already own go to waste. South Trading Post, Wet Market, and Basically Borrowed is hosing a Summer Swap Session this April 5 at the LEAP Studios in Makati—just sign up, bring your clothes, and go home with new pieces.
MAKATI MADNESS
STP and Wet Market are also holding one of their regular flea and art markets on April 5 to 6 at LEAP Studios, featuring local brands, artists, and even musicians. Shop vintage, find anik-anik, hang out with friends, participate in the clothing swap, and just have a chill time.
THE CREATOR’S CLUB
Ever wanted to own a piece of clothing from your fave creator—because they just have the best style? Here’s your chance—the Solana Market’s partnering with plenty of creators to host a Creator’s Closet Cleanup pop-up, where you can build your own creator-approved wardrobe. Head on over to the KMC office at One Ayala in Makati on April 5 and 6 to participate.
