The Original Farmers Market

IT ALL STARTED LIKE THIS...The year was 2020. A group of schoolmates got together (via Zoom, ofc) with one big idea: Can we change the way people shop by democratizing quality fashion? This sparked the dream of a new era in online shopping, and Cider was born. Inspired by the bubbly, fun nature of its namesake drink, we set out to bring that same energy to fashion, making it more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Lotería, the beloved concept founded by chef and restaurateur Jimmy Shaw, has officially returned to Third & Fairfax with an all-new marketplace inspired by the vibrant food culture and everyday markets of Mexico.
