LOOP BAZAAR REVIEW 
Last Saturday in Kraków small creative brands got turned into a LOOP.
The brains behind it (12/12 vision and Julia Korzeniowska) pulled together an event designed to spotlight the whole spectrum of young talent on the rise. LOOP BAZAAR turned a regular bistro into the city’s unofficial headquarters for the effortlessly cool. Stalls spilled over with chunky silver jewellery, racks of distressed denim called your name and there was definitely enough vintage sunglasses to make you question your entire eyewear game. Somewhere between the legs wearing unconventional thights and the tooth gems station, you could feel that mix of grunge and diy energy that makes you wanna stick around even if you didn’t plan on buying a thing.
The event was held in Lastriko, right in the city centre. The space brought its own flavour – literally. They even rolled out a custom cocktail menu just for the occasion, making it way too easy to linger between browsing stalls.
Founded by Agata in 2020, 12/12 vision has been serving their take on sustainable fashion ever since – rescuing clothes like full-on superheroes. Their lineup included a ton of racks with preowned clothes, upcycling projects plus a screen-printing station where visitors could stamp second-hand blanks with custom designs. To top it off, their booth featured Teodor working live, turning upcycling into a mini performance by hammering metal studs onto clothes right in front of you, however you like it.
Another station featured Oliwia, with a 3+ years of experience, in just a few minutes, you could walk away with a grin that caught the light in the most unapologetic way, perfectly matching the event’s glitter-meets-grunge energy. The tooth gem station quickly became one of loop bazaar’s most magnetic corners.
Making their debut as the first in Poland to offer tights and knee-highs with hand-printed designs, this brand brought a serious dose of nostalgia to LOOP BAZAAR. Inspired by the eclectic fashion of the 2000s and 2010s, their pieces tapped into a mix of aesthetics – from playful and girly to edgy and alt – ready to either complete or completely transform any outfit.
One of the longest-standing streetwear brands in Poland, running strong since 2005. Rooted in the hardcore/punk scene, they’ve been teaming up with local artists from day one.
“From the start, we’ve always focused on the quality of our clothes. It’s that hardcore rule – if you want something done right, do it yourself.”
On INTRUZ’s stall you could print second-hand blanks with 12/12 vision’s own custom design and also choose some fruits and vegetables that landed straight onto your grandpa’s old shirt.
Her edgy jewellery is a true labor of love, handmade from start to finish in studios based in Kraków and Kielce, Poland. Every piece begins with careful modeling, followed by meticulous hand-casting in tin that gives the designs a raw, authentic feel. The final touches are all done by hand, ensuring each item carries a unique blend of craftsmanship and rebellious spirit – perfect for anyone who looked for adding a little edge to their everyday look.

Making their debut with new projects: EAT THAT SHIRT and LALUMPU. Józka’s all about the clothes, while Alan’s behind the camera, capturing the vibe. As a fun side project for EAT THAT SHIRT, they locked themselves away in a darkroom with a scanner and some veggies, creating all kinds of quirky prints. You could snag these unique designs on your grandpa’s old tees and turn them into one-of-a-kind custom pieces.
LALUMPU was founded by Józka to flip the script on fast fashion mascots with their second-hand stuffed animals – a way cooler and way kinder choice for the planet than those typical mass-produced plushies. Each cuddly character comes with its own story, proving that sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style or fun.
LOOP BAZAAR wasn’t just a market – it was a snapshot of Kraków’s thriving alternative scene, where creativity, sustainability, and raw style collided effortlessly. Shoppers couldn’t resist the immaculate energy that was created thanks to @pablobrozyna and his DJ skills. He was the one that pinched the whole idea together by adding a soundtrack for the visitors. Whether you were hunting for killer vintage finds, rocking tooth gems, or discovering next-level upcycled threads, the vibe was always authentic and electric. You could ask what’s the best part about LOOP BAZAAR? It was only the first edition so if you missed it, trust me – you’ll want to catch the next round.
