(SPOT.ph) We all have a love-and-hate relationship with summer. Sure, you've got the intense heat you can barely move in without sweating and complaining, but it's also the season to go on quick escapades, preferably to beaches, pools, and hey, shopping sessions. If your weekend—specifically April 13 and 14—destination is down South, you might want to drop by this pop-up market in Alabang that will shine the light on Filipino homegrown brands. Don't forget to bring your portable fans, water bottles, and even some cooling powder during the ride!

This pop-up market happening down South shines the light on local brands

Whether you're going on a trip down South with your besties or you just love going to flea markets to scour through racks and racks of eclectic finds and rare gems, you should head over to the Lots of Local weekend pop-up market on April 13 and 14 at the Nook Coworking Studio, Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang. The event is by South Trading Post, a.k.a. the known avenue for vintage, thrift, and local shops to come together.

The weekend pop-up is going to be filled with Filipino-made brands. Think of those local shops you keep seeing or are already following on Instagram. You can see and shop their pieces firsthand—then maybe even get a tattoo or a piercing (you can worry about how to tell mom after), eat dirty ice cream, or take silly pictures in the photo booth with newfound friends in the community, (all in no correct order) inside the venue. 

Here are some of the local brands that you will see at the pop-up:

• Nin and Yang
• Wear Vida
• Solasta
• Malaya Club
• June 12 The Label
• 925 Wear
• Amica Studios
• Heure 1:41
• Russet Accessories
• Accessori Manila
• Cariad Fashion
• Fil Dog Scarf

You know how it is with these markets: they're treasure troves. There's always something for everyone. You'll never know what you can bring home—from sustainable fashion pieces from Nin and Yang or Cariad Fashion to accessories from Accessori Manila and Russet Accessories, and yes, even something for your fur babies from Fil Dog Scarf. Or maybe a tattoo from Manomano Ink or a piercing from Paniki Pierced. Who knows?

The Lots of Local weekend pop-up market is happening at the Nook Coworking Studio, Molito Lifestyle Center, Alabang on April 13 and 14. Doors are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
