Behind Mint Market is a group of people who have been organising successful design markets since 2010, carrying modern and sustainable goods at their events throughout the Czech Republic. What started as the idea of a few enthusiasts who wanted to create a place for themselves and their friends to sell their own brands has become a popular alternative to shopping malls and a platform bringing together more than 1,200 creatives and small businesses, holding regular events in two dozen cities. 

The markets are known for their friendly and relaxed atmosphere and wide selection of fair-trade, eco, bio, zero-waste or upcycled products. The designers, on the other hand, are happy to use the opportunity to present their products to a wide audience without having to devote all their time or resources to it. 

“Supporting small and local brands has been one of the basic ideas of our project from the very beginning,” said Lenka Šašková from the Mint Market team. In 2022, there were 57 market days across 38 Mint Market events. In total, more than 300 events have taken place in their 13 years of existence, attended by over 1.2 million visitors
