Flea Deluxe Photoreportage!

Yesterday our first Flea Deluxe event took place in the function room at Rift, Pl. Dels Angels, here in Barnawood.  A more intimate spot it was, and fearing some sort of human crush of frenzied shoppers, we kept street promotion to a minimum, and the word-of-mouth approach seemed to pull in a great deal of hipsters with an eye for quality and originality.  


There were 9 stalls, and people clubbed in to bring down the choicest items from their collection.  They included people with clothes from promotional gigs they may have done, people from the fashion industry and a few serial Flea Marketeers too.








Credit has to go to the marketeers, as always, whose organisation and presentation of the stalls was exemplary, and also the Flea Fans who made it down despite the slight drizzle, that is normally enough to put people of leaving their houses on a Sunday.


Extra credit to Petanca Legend Hank Martini, who did a stellar job of keeping the party lubricated.





Hank Martini also is about to bust out his first album!  Recorded in a hut in Sweden, you really have to peep his troubador folk musings.  Check the previews on his myspace.  In the picture he is flexing with a faux-diamond-encrusted belt buckle which was for sale at the Flea but I cannot confirm whether or not it was sold.


The gaffer from Rift was so chuffed with the day that he has offered us the space for a repeat showing in 2 weeks!  More news to come, as soon as I invent it.  He is also open to suggestions for projects in that there space that we used.


Agur!

¡New Flea Home!




Here's a little pic that I managed to snap in between mulled wines and wee chocolate cakes and also being very cold. Although Jo's post below detailing -10 oC conditions put things in perspective slightly.


We have a new spot with more space to circulate and potential for more to open up and exploit. We have permission to spin music again, and people didn't seem to be put off by the change in neighbourhood.


The quality of stuff on sale was once again stellar, yet a number of no-shows may make us consider a pre-payment scheme.


Hopefully next month I'll be able to document the market in more depth, and plus we've got the Flea Deluxe special event and glamour party to look forward to.


Bon Nadal a tothom i Bon Any

Happy Christmas from WMP Berlin!

So, following a really long hunt for a venue, the WMP Fashion Flohmarkt held it's fourth event at Betahaus last Saturday.



Despite the freezing temperatures on the day (-10 degrees!) shoppers arrived in droves to check out what was on offer.



Music was provided by Love and Mercy playing a delicious mixture of disco, house and 80's raregroove , Dimitri played a selection of old school Soul, disco and funk, while MorrisLess got our circulation going by rounding off the day with a warming selection of deep house tracks.



WMP Fashion Flohmarkt is an independent flea market and has been steadily growing from strength to strength. We're excited about what the future holds for us. WMP! wishes you a happy Christmas and looks forward to seeing you in the new year for more fun, fashion and frolics!

GARAGE SALE


Flea Market Porto has decided to celebrate this Christmas in a different way. Instead of setting up a tree, or dressing itself up with colorful balls, has decided to come down to the street, or to put it better, to the garage.

There are several modernist garages in Oporto, and Passos Manuel's garage is one of the best examples we have.
The building was built in the beginning of the XX century (around 1940) and served as a backup to another building, located just across the street, the Oporto's Coliseum.
Together, these two buildings represented a new era in the city. One of them, the Coliseum represented innovation on account of the music, the concerts or the shows that run inside. The other, the garage, represented modernity because of all the cars that parked inside.

It is, thus, a pleasure and an honor being able to have this Christmas edition in such a special place. Besides, this way the Flea Market turns out to be a real “garage sale”.

We have beaten all the submission records and even though we have a long waiting list.
This time we will have all kind of things, all kind of 2nd hand things, of course. From the typical vinyl's, decoration objects, books, clothes to all the other stuff we got used to.
To make it even a bigger party we will have good food, sweeties and salties and a lot of hot wine, to warm up our hands and spirits. It is Christmas after all.

So, if you're in Oporto next Saturday, 19th, you cannot miss this opportunity to come and shop at the garage. We will be open from 3.00pm to 8.00pm, and with us on the mix we'll have Dj Fernando Dias and his funky beats as well as ApartD22 who will bring us his best selection on electronic vibes.
We believe that this Christmas edition will be unforgettable, and who knows, maybe next time we'll need a bigger garage?

Happy Holidays and LONG LIVE THE FLEA!

PS. We'll be posting some photos soon…..
