The resurgence of Y2K fashion is a testament to one thing: there’s nothing that beats old school. If you’re of the camp that is gold, take a trip down to Katong where you can get a hit of sweet nostalgia at the Katong Square Lifestyle Vintage Market by The Retro Factory. Snag something unique during their next event on the weekend of 6th-8th January 2023.

Vintage is like Madonna – it never truly gets old. And whether you’ve got a soft spot for antique treasures, old jewellery, or vintage clothes, you can find something that suits your fancy at this pop-up market in the East.

Its wide array of indoor and outdoor stalls takes over Katong Square on the first weekend of every month. Really, it’s a wonder that this has largely remained a hidden gem, with only about 4,000+ IG followers in the know.

As with all flea markets, no two visits are ever the same. Expect a different set of vendors present every weekend. Clothes, collectables, and old cameras have been spotted during past events so there are plenty of trinkets to browse and fiddle with each time you come by.

The next market will be happening from 6th-8th January 2023, with stores selling everything from rustic home decorations for your BTO to vinyl records for old souls. If you’re looking for something beyond fast fashion to don this CNY, or a quirky date idea beyond the usual haunt, take a jaunt to the The Retro Factory’s flea market.
