Janice Koh, Pam Oei and Petrina Kow founded the annual pop-up in 2017.
Shopaholics and lovers of vintage luxury goods will be crushed to know that charity bazaar Pasar Glamour is back, but holding its final edition on Oct 5 and 6 at Enabling Village.that retails donated, second-hand designer goods was founded by theatre practitioners Janice Koh, 50, and Pam Oei, 52, as well as former radio DJ Petrina Kow, 48, in 2017. It went on hiatus after a 2021 edition held at pre-loved luxury marketplace Huntstreet Singapore.
Running Pasar Glamour has taken a toll on all three working mothers. Oei is active in theatre as a director and actress; Kow is a voice coach; and Koh, who co-chairs theatre company Wild Rice and sits on the board of the Singapore International Film Festival, acts and is involved in corporate training.“From the preparation of the sale to the marketing and publicity, and to venue partnership, collecting donations and logistics, it’s run purely on the backs of volunteers.
The boom in pre-loved luxury in recent years has been double-edged. While it improved the perception of second-hand goods, it also led to an explosion of competing thrifting events and a dwindling supply of donations.Koh recalls how in the early editions before the pandemic, women readily gave up their luxury bags for free to make space in their wardrobes.
Mutual connections led them to their venue sponsor Enabling Village and partner Minds. Enabling Village is an inclusive community space for people with disabilities, while Minds empowers the development and aspirations of persons with intellectual disabilities.
