VENDOR FAQs
How do I apply to be a vendor?
Fill out the application above to be approved to book space within the shop each month.
***DTLA Art Night is a separate night time event with additional requirements.
What types of vendors are we looking for?
Obscura Collective primarily focuses on vintage clothing and emerging designers in the sustainable fashion space. However, we welcome all types of vendors and encourage artists, chefs, and creatives from any background to apply.
How can my application stand out?
The best way to stand out in the vendor applications is to have a portfolio, website, or curated social media presence for your business.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN TONS OF FOLLOWERS. Vendors are selected based on their ability to showcase their product/market set up and photos allow the market to evaluate that.
Is this a large scale vintage market event?
While we no longer operate as a large-scale flea market, we've evolved into a permanent brick-and-mortar venue that hosts vendors for smaller-scale pop-up events, similar to the setup of an antique mall. This shift allows us to provide a more curated and intimate shopping experience, offering vendors dedicated spaces to showcase their unique products in a stable environment. Unlike traditional flea markets, which are often temporary and expansive, our approach fosters deeper connections between vendors and customers, enhancing the overall community feel of our marketplace.
Do you have plans to create a large scale vintage market in the future?
Yes, we are excited to share that plans are underway to introduce a market in the future. We invite you to stay tuned for upcoming announcements and appreciate your continued support.
Do I need to bring my own set up equipment?
Yes, as of right now we do not have equipment available for rent and vendors must provide their own tables and racks. Limited equipment available for rental.
What is your refund and rescheduling policy?
All bookings are final and non-refundable. Our showroom is indoors, operates rain or shine, and once you've secured your dates, rescheduling is not permitted. We encourage all vendors to carefully consider their availability and preparedness before making a reservation to ensure a successful experience.
