About Us
Independent Market was launched due to a desire to share our appreciation and love for fellow independent Singapore designers, makers and publishers – friends we've made over the years.
We’ve curated a range of local brands dedicated to designing and making small batches of creative, Singaporean-themed products. From cheeky gift ideas to alternative Singapore souvenirs, we’re the marketplace for well-designed and quintessentially Singaporean goods. Explore the very best of local independent labels at our stores today!
