About us
Who we are
Omri met Zbynek (AKA Banan) and Katka in 2010 at what became later known as the first Mint:Brno Fashion Market. All of them had their own independent fashion label and where going to various markets, and than & there they decided to start their own events!
"It was an explosive meeting, but in the second fashion market we already decided where we going to do the next market in Prague" say Banan
Banan and Katka were organising markets in Brno, while Omri did it in the rest of the universe, and so in 2011 their first combined event happened in Prague: Holesovice Fashion Market.
In 2015 the Prague Market was already too small to contain their events, and for first time PFM happened by the river, Lenka has joined the team and later Adela and Klara and their markets started to appear also in other Czech cities such as Pilsen, Ceske Budjovice, Pardubice, Ostrava, Olomouc etc.
Now the whole concept is held under the title Mint Markets, which includes fresh markets, with an online web, blog, news and soon E-shop!
We are looking forward to cooperate with both sellers and visitors to our unique markets.

Our team
Lenka Šašková
Lenka does not like to be called a manager, so she decided to become the principal. It is quite true that MINT is more like a colourful circus than a big corporate company. Before taking over the organisation of the markets, she studied curatorship with a focus on design, founded ÝBRKÝBL: Fashion bazaar and ate a zucchini for the first time.
Zbyněk Banán Hanko
Banán always looks forward to the ‘boredom’ that kicks in about two hours after an even starts, when everything has been prepared, and things are running smoothly. In those moments, he can be seen strolling through the markets, enjoying the atmosphere, and talking with his friends selling their products and trying to figure out what else they could do together. But sometimes even he hides in the backstage and simply spends his time reading or sleeping.
Omri Goz
Omri is involved in the majority of all exciting events and cultural projects that happen in Prague and the whole Czech Republic both ‘over and underground’, and that is why we have him on our team.
Katka Pletichová
Katka likes to stop time, to fill abandoned spaces with new life, to find authentic experience and the spirit of any given moment. She loves those relaxing times which flow through our lives and when people are so close to each other that they need nothing else than just being. That is why she takes part in organising markets during which it is possible to create such atmosphere.
Adéla Štěpánková
Adéla hlavně komunikuje, postuje, kliká, tvoří a na všechno si dělá tabulky, což je asi tak jediná známka toho, že má původně vystudovanou ekonomku. U nás má na starosti Facebook a kontakt s médii i partnery.
Klára Vernarcová
Klara is like a fish in water on Instagram. She has been crawling in it since its foundation and she also studied marketing. He prefers to catch moments, emotions and especially smiles with a camera. And there are countless of them at MINT :)
