It provides an elegant and atmospheric backdrop that makes the Secret Market experience feel genuinely special.
Tips for Visitors
Many designers bring limited-edition pieces to each market, so if you spot something you love, don’t hesitate — it might not be there when you circle back. Arriving closer to opening time gives you the best selection.
