More Flavor: Shopping
Brooklyn Indie Market
-
- Hats by Rock and Salt
The Brooklyn Indie Market is the stateside equivalent of an Arab souk. Located a stone's throw from Smith Street's many tasty brunch spots, the collective of flourishing local designers opens up shop every Saturday and — starting September 7 — Sunday. Shoppers now have the entire weekend to pick over the latest fashions and beautiful, detail-oriented products, all unique and unavailable for mass consumption. Like everything else these days, the marketplace allows you to go local; you can avoid that bargain-basement anonymity by snagging a garment stitched with someone specific in mind.

four booths inside a small tent does not a market make. Lame.
Is the stuff actually priced to sell or priced to just look at, like most of those "indie" markets? Note to vendors: In case you haven't noticed it yet, we're in a recession/depression. Lame.
Making stuff by hand takes skill. Lord knows how many times you walk into the same stores selling the same shit with prices that indicate it's mass produced from third world countries. No wonder America's so screwed up. No one here knows how to make shit anymore and expects everyone else to make it for them for cheaper prices. THAT's lame.
