Zouk Fashionable shopping

The fashionistas that swarm Zouk every weekend are now finding themselves another reason to come to the ultra hip club in the daytime as well. The Zouk Flea and Easy Market is a quarter-yearly event that attracts people of all ages with the promise of an afternoon of shopping and even partying! Raved to be the most chic market in the nation, its regulars would gladly testify to its bona fide hype.

Zouk comes alive in a very different light with over 70 different vendors selling a myriad range of items that will definitely overwhelm. A kaleidoscope of colours, every inch of the club is occupied by many stall vendors, most of whom are young and incredibly fashionable themselves. The goods range from second-hand clothes and vintage finds to exquisite handmade accessories and even home-baked cookies. The festive aura in Zouk is indeed irresistibly enticing.

For those who thrive on searching out the lowest priced items, you will love the second hand deals can dip as low as just $2 for a shirt, and branded bags at more than 50% discount. The flea market also attracts young entrepreneurs to set up stalls peddling their own creations, which is perfect for individuals who have preferences for quirky and unique items that are one-of-a-kind. Many of these young sellers also have online stores, and take the opportunity to promote their businesses to the public. However, all the goods sold at this market must be paid in cash, so do prepare your moo-lah in advance.

Even if you do not find anything you fancy, you can always indulge in a Mocha Frappe at the Wine Bar and watch the world pass by. Many people have commented on the attractive people that have been spotted at these events, decked out in the most chic outfits, which is reminiscent to the clientele that Zouk normally hosts at night as well.

This is one flea market that is definitely recommended!
