Onward and Upward for The Brooklyn Flea

Just got this missive from Eric Demby of the Brooklyn Flea. Just because it's the dead of winter don't think the Brooklyn Flea is closed. No, no, no. They seem to pop up everywhere.

Following a successful opening month of its Antiques Market in Dumbo, Brooklyn Flea is expanding its Winter Pop-Up to a second empty storefront directly across the street, at 81 Front St. The details are the same as the antiques market: Saturdays and Sundays, 11am to 6pm, through March 29. 

The
6100sf loft-like space will feature 35 (mostly) non-vintage vendors of
clothes, jewelry, art, handmade/crafts, and best of all, food! This
weekend, Jan. 31/Feb. 1, will be a soft launch for the new space, with
the full grand opening Feb. 7/8. 

Onboard
so far are silkscreeners Loyalty + Blood, Brooklyn Junior, and Flux
Productions. Jewelers Birdhouse, Bonbon Oiseau, Jessica De Carlo, and
Blint Design. Upcyclers Reclaimed Home and Un Jour, Georges. Handmade
mavens Heartisans, Perch Design, A.S.I.S., and Hortensia Handmade.
Vintage finds from FDR to JFK and Sew Moni. Fabulous greenery and
garden design from Groundworks. Plus guest DJs including the Dumbo
record shop Halcyon, special guest curators, and more.

Flea food-vendor staples Kumquat Cupcakery, McClure's Pickles, Hot
Blondies Bakery, and Choice Market will all be at 81 Front St. Fine +
Raw Chocolate will debut their insane raw hot cocoa. Consider Bardwell,
the 140-year-old Vermont cheese farm, will be selling their
award-winning goat and cow cheeses starting Feb. 8. For the 81 Front launch this weekend, Chris and his Kings County BBQ truck will be parked out front. 

Did
we mention pupusas? They're back too! Red Hook and Brooklyn Flea Food
Vendor Rafael Soler will have his renowned pupusas available at 81
Front St. starting this weekend.

Winter Pop-Up will also feature the debut of the "Curated Corner," where
the Flea will partner with guest curators to bring in their favorite
designer/shop/artist/dealer to hold a one-time-only show/sample
sale/trunk show. Curators include: Daily Candy (Feb. 7/8, Feb. 28/March
1, March 28/29), Refinery29 (Feb. 21/22), Cool Hunting (March 7/8), and
Fred Flare (date TBA). (More curators to be announced soon.) Guest
curators will create their own environments inside the market where
visitors can shop and meet the creatives behind their favorite brands. 

Pulled
pork, a handmade t-shirt, some earrings, a vintage side table, and some
classic Dior sunglasses–the Winter Pop-Up is a Brooklyn winter
wonderland.

One thought on “Onward and Upward for The Brooklyn Flea”

  1. Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO is soooo awesome! Last weekend my husband and I bought a beautiful antique clock that is a total gem, with its old world chime.
