What it was like
UNIQUE MARKETS returns to the Cooper Design Space in downtown Los Angeles for its 18th edition, a curated indoor pop-up market celebrating emerging designers, independent makers, and creative small businesses. Set in a historic penthouse venue in the heart of the Fashion District, this Mother's Day weekend market brings together 75 or more hand-selected brands spanning fashion, accessories, beauty, lifestyle goods, art, and gifts.
Attendees can expect complimentary charm activities to customize their purchases, live portrait sessions with photographers, and a lineup of live music throughout the day. The market is thoughtfully curated — every vendor is vetted for craftsmanship, originality, and brand story. This is not a generic craft fair. It is a discovery space for the kind of brands that will be featured in style publications next year.
The Cooper Design Space has become one of LA's premier creative venues, and UNIQUE MARKETS has been a cornerstone of the city's independent fashion scene. Food and beverages are available on-site. Free admission. Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 11am to 4pm. This is the event for shoppers who want something they cannot find at any mall.
