Borghetto Flaminio is not as well known as the famous Porto Portese market. The latter has more furniture but Flaminio is the market to check out for authentic vintage/used designer clothes and interesting tableware.
As with any flea market there could be some fakes, but this market has a good reputation. Many of the vendors are regulars. If they were selling fake Prada, Gucci, Hermès, etc. the word would get out pretty quickly.
Borghetto Flaminio is tiny. I suggest getting there early. It’s packed with fantastic finds. I hadn’t been there in years so when my friend, artist and florist Marta, suggested we check it out, I was ready.
A cool tea set from the 40s.
Lovely monogrammed vintage linen.
A taste of Hermès. This was the most popular vendor in the market. They also had some drop dead gorgeous vintage Gucci, Valentino, Prada, and Fendi bags.
Love this Murano glass set from the 60s.
Marta was VERY excited about this patent leather Prada bag.

Wow. Thanks for this! Next time I’m in Rome.. This looks like a really trippy market. That bag! I bought the BEST Afghan coat from a vintage market in Florence..
It’s fantastic. I know people who go every month. You never know what you will find.
I love Flaminio too, have bought some brilliant things there over the years…old green glass pitchers from Capri, vintage bags, a 60’s italian fan which even works….. might even see you there this sunday!
I couldn’t believe it had been years since my last visit. Then once I arrived I remembered why I avoid it. Too much temptation!
I’m visiting Rome in July! I’m so excited to find your blog! Now I have something else on the to-do list. What is the price point for this market? Is haggling a part of the experience? Thanks so much.
Hard core haggling, no. Some discussion about prices for non-designer goods is possible.
Prices range. A couple hundred euros for high-end bags/scarves/silver. For thinks like vintage post-cards, pretty cheap. This market is located in a wealthy neighborhood.
Porto Portese is where you will find more bargains.
Che meraviglia! It might be a long time before I make it there. Will dispatch my sister in the meantime.
I love flea markets. I haven’t been to the market in Ponte Milvio yet. That one is next on the list.
