We Went to Cosset 01, and It Was a Heart-warming Success

In a city bustling with massive pop culture conventions, sometimes the most impactful events are the ones built from the ground up by the community itself.

That was exactly the feeling at Cosset 01, which took place last Saturday, June 21st.

Founded by local cosplay influencer Yosuke, this new flea market initiative set out with a simple

Mission: to make cosplay fun, affordable, and sustainable.

While not the first cosplay flea market in Singapore, its debut was a roaring success and a welcome addition to the scene.

The Vibe:

Cozy, Crowded, and Full of Passion

From the moment the doors opened, the venue was buzzing. The first few sessions saw a significant burst of attendees, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere that filled the space with energy. It was crowded, but in the best way possible—a clear sign that the community is eager and supportive of new, passion-driven initiatives.

Yosuke and her team did a fantastic job managing the flow of people, ensuring that despite the numbers, the event never felt chaotic.

It was clear this was an event run by people who genuinely understand the community's needs.

The Heart of the Event: The Flea Market

The core of Cosset 01 was, of course, the flea market.

Booths lined the hall, overflowing with pre-loved costumes, wigs and props.

We saw countless items find new homes, from complete, outfits to rare wigs that would be hard to find elsewhere.

This wasn't just about selling; it was about recycling passion. Veterans of the scene could pass on beloved costumes to newcomers, and beginners had an invaluable opportunity to start their cosplay journey affordably. It’s a brilliant, sustainable model that enriches the entire local scene.

Community at its Core

What truly made Cosset 01 special wasn't just the items for sale, but the interactions between them. This was the event's secret sauce. It was heart-warming to see attendees connecting, sharing tips, and admiring each other's finds.

The organizers even thoughtfully included sofas and seating areas, allowing people to rest and chat, transforming a simple market into a genuine social gathering.

Even minor technical aspects, like the music being a little soft due to the lack of a formal audio system, didn't detract from the experience. If anything, it encouraged people to talk to each other more, reinforcing the event's grassroots, community-first feel.

The Verdict: Was It Worth It?

For anyone involved in or curious about the local cosplay scene, Cosset 01 was an absolute triumph. It proved that there is a strong demand for smaller, focused events that serve a real community need. It was more than just a market; it was a gathering space that felt welcoming, practical, and full of positive energy.
