This spunky new market aims to unite talented designers and start-ups in Singapore with eager shoppers who love affordable clothes, accessories and home trinkets
As you probably know, us Honeycombers gals love picking up unique, beautiful trinkets to cover ourselves (and our homes) in – particularly when those fashion finds and furnishings come at a cracking price. There’s nothing better than spending an afternoon digging through locally-designed gems at the market, hunting down affordable treasures that no one else can get their hands on. This is exactly what the new #LelongLelongMarket is all about, and we’re proud to be sponsoring the fabulous new venture by local start-up Good Citizen.
The aim of Good Citizen, and this weekend’s #LelongLelongMarket, is to offer a low-cost selling platform to new entrepreneurs with great products, thus giving shoppers to opportunity to buy fab, independent items. When’s the first event?
Date: 30th – 31st May 2015 (this Saturday and Sunday)
Time: 12pm – 8pm
Venue: Triple One Somerset, Level 16 (nearest MRT is Somerset and nearest carpark is Triple One Somerset).
To make the most of your shopping experience, look out for the stalls with Honeycombers branding, and be sure to tell them you’re a reader to score 10 per cent off. Lots of the brilliant stalls are participating, and we’ll be there to say hey too.
‘Give us an example of the#LelongLelongMarket stalls who will be taking part in the Honeycombers discount scheme’, you say in our imaginations. Well, OK then. Here’s our guide to nifty stalls and designers to look out for…

Local jewellery start-up Quartersg are all about accessorising in serious style, with oh-so-cute affordable designs that you won’t find elsewhere.

ECLECTIC ATTIC
If you’re looking for thoughtful and pretty gifts, or planning to seriously accessorise that desk of yours, Eclectic Attic is the stall to hit. Their passport covers, handmade notebooks and vintage postcards are swoon-tastic, yet affordable. Drool over their Insta here.
BLVCKCHRXME
BLVCKCHRXME sells funky streetwear at competitive prices, because they understand how hard it is to find unique streetwear locally in Singapore. Their big-sellers are their tees, such as the above Unfamous Singapore top. If you want one, get in fast, because BLVCKCHRXME are all about printing small batches to ensure their pieces are one of a kind. Check out their Insta page.
So there you have it! A little taster of what to expect when you trot along to #LelongLelongMarket this weekend. And remember – look for our Honeycombers branding on the stalls and quote ‘The Honeycombers’ to make use of that discount. Happy shopping!
