LE PETIT MARCHE JUNE 2012 EDITION

LPM as it is known by all, needs no introduction whatsoever. But for the benefit of those not in Nigeria, and who might not have heard about it before, it is the now regular end of the month bazaar market or fair like some would call it. The regular venue has been The Get Arena, located on the Island, not too far from The Palms Mall.

This month's edition had the regular mix of the fashion designers, young entrepreneurs in fashion related businesses etc. Who altogether always make a very colourful mix. It must have been another very successful outing for those that had their wares on display, as many were seen happily doing brisk sales and counting their Naira.  Many are already eagerly awaiting the next edition in July of 2012.

We have a few pictures of those at the fair for your viewing delight. ENJOY! PICTURES BY CHP FOTOS-08092438533
