Sustainable design and conscious shopping
Secret Market is a monthly meeting point for independent Hungarian designers and people who appreciate thoughtful, small-scale production.We believe in slow fashion, local production, conscious shopping and giving materials a second life. Many of our designers work with recycled, upcycled or responsibly sourced materials and create their pieces in small quantities, often by hand.
Every market is different, with new designers, new collections and new discoveries waiting to be found.
