Skip mainstream shopping malls and drop by these pop-ups and flea markets in Singapore.
Clearly, Singapore is a shopping paradise. But we can’t give all the credit to world-class malls and cool indie boutiques. The city also has heaps of rad flea markets, pop-up markets and bazaars for those looking for one-of-a-kind furniture, locally-produced food, handmade goodies, vintage wares and all sorts of wonderful steals. It’s also a planet-friendly way to shop for new stuff. To make retail therapy a little easier, we’ve done the treasure-hunting for you with our list of flea markets in Singapore.
