Lambada market schedule autumn winter. Lambada Market opened an online store of Russian brands

Founder of Lambada Market Elena Kamai. In the online store you can find the same goods that are sold at monthly fairs; all of them are placed in four sections: “Clothing”, “Accessories”, “Jewelry” and “Home and Life”. You can add things you like to your wishlist.

Anyone can create their own store on the site: to do this, you need to fill out a special form. Now the site has about a hundred regular market participants and more than 1,500 products. For now, the online store is operating in a beta version, which is promised to be improved and supplemented: the number of sellers should increase, and the functionality of the site should expand.

We asked the founder of Lambada Market, Elena Kamai, to tell us how the idea of ​​​​creating an online store came about and what are the further plans for its development.

ELENA KAMAY

founder of Lambada Market

The idea of ​​launching such a site was already quite for a long time probably two years; We started working actively last year. It became clear that this was a natural development of events, because there are a lot of participants: about a thousand applications come to each market, of which we select 200. We realized what the volumes are and that people need it. We always received very good feedback after events and realized that we all needed this. It took a year, but this is a working version - we are preparing new version, which will include media where we will talk about all our participants, where everyone will be able to communicate, read about each other, buy and sell things.

We focused on Etsy and other Western sites. This is how any startup is done: you look and choose the best, use what suits you. We sent out invitations (we now have about a hundred stores on our website), made access, listened to feedback on how everything loaded and worked. They created, of course, focusing on themselves and what the children needed. “Lambada” is a holiday in itself, and I want this to happen all the time.

Now we have guys from St. Petersburg, Penza, Samara working with us; we want to make a project for all of Russia, the countries of the former USSR. Unfortunately, Etsy has been Russified, but it is not catching on, just like eBay, in my opinion. And this is absolutely our thing, understandable to everyone. We have been working offline for six years now, it seems to me that everything is natural and there will be even more in the future.

As for the mechanism for connecting buyers with sellers, everything is simple: you come, register, pay a small subscription fee (it will appear in two months and will depend on the number of goods) and sell. For buyers, of course, everything is free, you just buy. The mechanism is this: you pay directly to the seller, and the seller himself delivers the goods. This is the same system as on Etsy, it is quite convenient, because, unfortunately, we cannot take care of delivery yet.

At Lambada Market, young brands and cozy family businesses mature, gain juice and gain strength. The trick of the fair is that guests can communicate with the artists whose works they buy. Agree, it’s nice to wear not a nameless thing, but a brooch self made from the girl with red pigtails with whom you had a nice conversation about Bob Dylan. Or put a wooden table in the living room made by a funny guy wearing a sweatshirt from your favorite band. Who knows, maybe in front of you is the newly minted Frida Giannini or the future Arne Jacobsen.

Elena Kamai, creator and organizer of Lambada Market:

“Lambada Market is a large adult project that celebrated its seventh anniversary this year. We worked hard and grew from a friendly garage sale into a solid fair of young designers, artists and culinary specialists.

Last year we launched the online platform lmbd.ru. Now you can purchase unique and soulful items from craftsmen from different cities and countries. Every month before a new market, we receive several thousand applications, but we select only the 200 strongest and most interesting brands.

We always try to turn the market into a carefree and bright holiday. The New Year's fair will be no exception. This is a great occasion to meet friends and have a lot of fun. And we'll add a little magic. There will be a Christmas tree market, a Christmas choir will perform, and musicians will play. Come get some special things on December 23, 24 and 25!”

Dress with taste

At the New Year's Lambada Market, fashionistas and fashionistas will be able to appreciate designer clothing lines. Kings of denim are experts in stylish jeans and warm plaid shirts. Sweatshirts and raincoats from Mom’s Garden will delight you with prints of Frida Kahlo and colorful dinosaurs. And the St. Petersburg brand “Mouth to Mouth” made sure that you do not freeze in the Epiphany frosts. The guys sew simple sweaters and dresses from wool and linen. Walk through the aisles - here you can find cozy French-style coats and frivolous boho T-shirts. At Lambada Market you can find truly original goods - you don’t have to worry that someone will show up to the party wearing the same dress as yours.

We create comfort

If you believe that home comfort should be functional, visit the interior design site. You might like designer furniture or wall prints from talented illustrators. Pay attention to the lithographs of Soviet artists - they can be purchased from Lithoart collectors. A mountain or city landscape is suitable for the living room. A graphic still life made in ink can be hung in the kitchen. By the way, if you need original wooden dishes, look for them in the Trud workshop. Lovers of airy porcelain can choose a tea pair with magical and floral motifs from Fairy Table. If you want to add beauty to your bathroom, The Chayka Shop soap makers will be happy to help you. They prepare delicate lavender soap, and also know how to carve Houdon's head - the kind from which artists learn to draw facial proportions.

Trying new dishes and listening to music

Hurray, we updated the wardrobe, we also took care of the interior. Now you can look into the food court. Which country's cuisine do you prefer at this time of day? The guys from Ferma Burger will prepare for you a black burger with cuttlefish ink, and the hot Mexicans Fresh & Fried will treat you to a spicy quesadilla. The fair's menu also includes falafel, boxed noodles and other dishes from around the world. There will be desserts too. The Injir project will take care of light mousses with fruits and berries and cottage cheese tarts. The other confectioners will also find something to please the guests.

Now that your stomach is no longer growling, you can think about your soul. For example, go to a Christmas choir concert or listen to the sounds of fruits and vegetables - the Playtronica project will help with this.
