Sunday Social Market is a passion project between DJ Zig Zach and Jade Amar, which combines two of their loves; music and fashion. They wanted to create a hangout spot for people to listen to music, eat delicious food, and shop local, talented brands! ?
This year, Sunday Social Market’s theme is to showcase brands that provide conscious and wellness living! Located at Sing See Soon Lifestyle this time, an experiential garden in Simei, this market is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here are 16 places you should check out! ?
