(SPOT.ph) If there's one place a shopper—particularly those who love rare vintage finds—would gladly get lost in, it's South Trading Post. Dubbed the "South's very own flea market," this pop-up market has been a go-to weekend destination since they started this year. Now, they're capping December off with their biggest and most exciting one to date. It's time to go on a road-trip to Alabang once more, folks, and for the southies nearby, don't miss out.

Here's what to expect at South Trading Post's biggest flea market.
Whether you should be given an attendance award for going to all their markets so far, or you've had it on your drawing board year-long, this is the one not to miss. South Trading Post is hosting their pop-up on December 16 and 17, and in a new location: the G Studios in Daanghari, Alabang. According to their posts, it's their biggest one yet.
The weekend flea market is open from 12 noon to 9 p.m. Based from their past runs, it's going to be full of local curators and their eclectic pieces; we're talking kitschy finds and unique wares that go beyond clothing. We even spotted film cameras, Italian charm bracelets, and more.
Check out some participating shops at the flea market below:
The Archive Vintage
Those who appreciate the vintage and secondhand scene will love The Archive Vintage pieces. They have a vintage shop in Parañaque, but they're always a welcome sight at flea markets. There are going to be racks and racks of jackets, graphic and colorful tees, and others, all waiting for you.
Film Camera Philippines
Film Camera Philippines offers a wide range of, well, film cameras. Canon, Pentax, Fujica, Yashica, Konica, Olympus—you name a brand, they've likely got it. You'll find loads of them to take your future memories with at the flea market.
Accessori Manila
For unique accessories to elevate your ensembles, you'll love going through Accessori Manila's pieces. They offer local and handcrafted accessories like necklaces, earrings as well as keychains that are absolute headturners.
Nin and Yang
If you're looking to invest in the slower side of fashion, there's Nin and Yang. Upcycling and repurposing is their game. They have clothes—from tops, skirts, dresses, et cetera and accessories that are made from discarded fabrics.
