Hey, Faithfuls! If you're a big thrifting fan, you might know about The Hammock Market. It's a bi-weekly event held at Aperia Mall near Bendemeer MRT Station. What's intriguing is that vendors are often regular folks like us, alongside fashion influencers who want to let go of their clothes at lower prices.

Here, you'll find retro tees, funky jackets, graphic tees and more, with prices starting at just a few bucks! Plus, you can also score sweet deals with bulk purchases. Beyond the racks of clothes, you'll stumble upon a whole world of artisanal finds, including handmade candles, cute cat keychains and more.

But that's not all! You'll also find piercing, jagua tattoos, and tarot reading booths scattered throughout the market.

Usually, the clothes at The Hammock Market are carefully curated. The folks behind the market handpick each seller to ensure you're getting clothes that actually look somewhat fashionable. Since many of these sellers are influencers themselves, you know you're in for some stylish finds.

This emphasis on style curation is also why it's so difficult to bid for a booth here. Typically, booth rental costs S$68 for the most basic setup, which includes a hammock and two stools. To save money on rental, you can split the cost with your booth buddy, as there's no limit on the headcount. I actually tried bidding for a slot twice and didn't get it, but third time's the charm!

FYI, I do recommend getting the booths with clothing racks, as potential buyers can suss out the vibe of your clothes and know whether they're interested in getting down on their knees and rummaging through your hammock.

Upon registering for a booth, be sure to include your Instagram handle. This is likely how organisers assess if your fashion sense meets their standards.

Oh, and here's a little tip for all you budding entrepreneurs out there: if you want to sell more stuff, consider pricing your items at S$5 each or three for S$10. As the day winds down, you can even slash prices to S$2 or S$3 per piece to move more inventory.

And for any unsold clothes, don't fret as there's a donation booth where you can drop them off.

Remember to have small change on hand too, as some people prefer to pay with cash. You can also print out prices on paper to label how much your clothes are sold for or set up QR code payments for cashless transactions.

Whether you're seeking budget-friendly shopping or simply looking for weekend plans, The Hammock Market is worth checking out! Whether as a seller or buyer, it's fun to explore both roles—I highly recommend it.
