This week, the ever-popular Braderie is on again, a chance to get Quebec designers’ creations at 50 to 80 per cent off. At Bonsecours Market, designers liquidate their samples and overstock.
You’ll have to embrace the chaos: The cavernous space is typically jammed, with makeshift change rooms, so dress accordingly, and remember to breathe.
You’ll find women’s and men’s ready to wear, children’s fashions, coats, sportswear, leather, fur, shoes, bathing suits and lingerie, casual wear, hats, jewellery and other accessories.
Look for names like Mackage, Ève Gravel, Dinh Bà Design, Bodybag by Jude, Kollontai, Matt & Nat, Iris, Fixation, Nadya Toto, Second Yoga Jeans, Soïa & Kyo, Tavan & Mitto, Melissa Nepton and plenty more.
The full list is here.
Iris Setlakwe’s trademark is luxurious fabric and an ultra-feminine look.
The well-established join the newcomers at the event, which is also a rare opportunity to meet and chat with some of the designers.
The hours:
Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The place: Bonsecours Market, 350 St-Paul St. E. or 325 de la Commune St. E.
