IYKYK…

There’s nothing quite like retail therapy at Locale!

The shopping playground for the stylish returned to Locale — the iconic #PinkBuilding at 4 Holborn Road — this weekend as MoDA Market celebrated its 10th anniversary staging. And as has become the norm, #LocaleLoyalists got first dibs on the best in Caribbean art and fashion last Thursday, hobnobbing with designers Samantha Black, Aaron Moneer, Korto Momolu, Kimon Baptiste, Ackeilia Caine, and Carlton Jones all while shopping pieces from their latest collections and sipping CPJ cocktails by in-house mixologists at The Hummingbird Bar. And, who needs mannequins when there were models swanning around in standout pieces from the featured brands?

The annual three-day extravaganza has become a calender event for both local and international shoppers, not just for its curated selection of exquisite jewellery, handcrafted homegoods, and runway-ready fashion, but also for its unwavering commitment to showcasing exceptional Caribbean talent.

 

MoDA Market — November 22 – 24 — continues today at Locale.
