Forget LIDL! Birgu Flea Market has got all the deals!

Mar 21 2023

If you’ve never heard of the Birgu Flea Market, or are still waiting to go, this might be your official sign that now is the time!

Footage uploaded to TikTok by user @frankmuscat533 shows people going absolutely crazy over bed sheets priced at just €5. The video shows a sizeable crowd waiting to purchase their own bed sheets at the bargain of a price – but that’s not all the Flea Market offers customers!

According to Rhi, who runs the blog ‘Moving On, Up & Away’, the ‘biggest and best flea market in Malta’ offers everything from house plants, car parts, tools, glasses, brass-wear, ‘questionable used old makeup’ and ‘more characters packed into one small space than I’ve ever seen before.’

The flea market on Sunday is, according to Rhi, amazing for people watching.

‘We’ve seen people dressed like 14th century noblemen, women in full on Saturday night club gear, complete with stilettos, people pushing their dogs along in a pushchair, hippies, goths and just about everything you can imagine in-between.’

Have you ever been to the Flea Market?

The footage shows young children dressed in military uniforms, learning how to handle guns and participating in simulated combat drills. Many viewers have expressed concern over the idea of children being taught how to handle weapons and engage in warfare.

However, supporters of the program argue that it is intended to instill discipline and patriotism in young people. They say that the training is similar to the programs offered by scouting organizations and that it helps children to develop important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and self-reliance.

It is important to note that military training for children is not unique to Russia. Many countries have similar programs, such as the Young Marines in the United States and the Army Cadet Force in the United Kingdom.

The show was part of Art Hearts Fashion Week, which was held at The Majestic Downtown LA, with the inspiration point for this collection coming from Limestone, the Maltese Island’s landscape.

‘From the oldest free-standing temples, fortifications, churches to our rocky shores, Maltese limestone gives the country its unique Golden hue. The islands’ history is literally carved in stone’ the designers explained.

The Limestone Sunset consisted of stone coloured puffer jackets, executed in exaggerated shapes and mimic stone sculpture details, ‘just like stone walls protecting the wearer from the elements.’

Art Hearts Fashion is the leading platform dedicated to bringing innovative designers and artists to the forefront of fashion week. Founded in 2010, AHF has become a driving force for fashion, art, and entertainment, featuring some of the biggest names in the field.
