The Evolution Of The Market That Has Been Evolving For 350 Years Continues; The New Artisan Gin Stall Is Not Traditional But It Is There

The Sunday Brick Lane market has developed a new section — a covered section between the existing outdoor market and the covered market — that has attracted the specific category of trader who is positioned between the Sunday market’s outdoor stalls (cheap, eclectic, negotiable) and the covered market’s indoor traders (curated, priced, fixed). The new section has: an artisan gin stall, a vintage denim specialist charging prices that are vintage by origin but artisan in their retail context, a food producer selling condiments at prices that reflect their small-batch origin, and several other traders in the same register.
This is not a complaint. The market has always been multiple markets within the same geography. The Sunday outdoor section remains what it is. The new section has added a price tier that its traders can sustain and its customers are willing to pay. The market’s 350-year history is a history of continuous adaptation to successive communities and economies. The artisan gin stall is another chapter. Bohiney covers the market evolution. The London Prat covers Brick Lane.
