Holy Shit Shopping

As I was trying to find a good flea market I searched the web and came across this: Holy Shit Shopping. I don't know why it is called that but "Holy shit! Where's the f*ing entrance? Holy shit! Why is there a queue? Holy Shit! Why is everything so expensive?" could be reasons for that title.




I even saw one girl take one of these posters...

 As you might have assumed -  yes, once again we had trouble finding the location although the description on the internet clearly spit out "Messehallen Hamburg". But what we didn't know was that it is a freaking huge building with an even bigger fence around it. So we (of course) arrived at the other end of it and had to walk more than ten minutes to get to our destined place.
What we saw was a mass of people lining up to get in, which meant that it cost us an entrance fee of 3€. Acceptable in my opinion considering that Holy Shit wasn't a flea market at all. The place gathered young designers mostly from Berlin and I also spoke with one from Korea. 
They sold accessories, clothes, hosiery, postcards, illustrations, bags -  all self-made, -printed, -drawn. Very impressive. The prices are actually appropriate.
