String Bean Alley

Shipping containers painted in bright, alternating colors form the narrow, open-air corridor of String Bean Alley. These repurposed steel boxes function as individual stalls for local artisans, designers, and food vendors within the Queen Victoria Market. The alley takes its name from the vegetable sellers who occupied this exact strip of land for decades before the current structure appeared in twenty fourteen. Today, the space houses small businesses that highlight handmade goods, keeping the tradition of market trade alive in a modern configuration.
