ABOUT SOUL REAL ‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹

Soul Real Market began in 2021, founded by Angelica, who had a love from vintage and trinkets — traveled miles and miles to showcase her curations, hauling racks, sourcing from different parts of Southern California, and building a small community one booth at a time.

In 2022, Soul Real hosted its very first market in Stanton, CA with a simple goal: to create a space that felt intentional, inclusive, and filled with heart. As an Asian/POC-owned business, she wanted to carve out room for creatives who often go unseen— makers, curators, and small business dreamers like her

Since then, Soul Real has grown into more than just a market. Our themed events bring people together with purpose, sparking connection through storytelling, art, and shared experiences. Whether it's a nostalgic throwback or a playful seasonal concept, each market is a celebration of culture, creativity, and community.

Today, Soul Real lives both in-person and online— a space rooted in identity, built with love, and always offering something for everyone.

To uplift and empower small businesses by creating thoughtful spaces—online and in-person—where people can connect, create, and discover goods made with heart. We aim to make shopping feel personal, supporting artists and curators who care deeply about their craft.
