A Euphoria Women's Market Spotlight: Saturn Street

Alex Chicas and Aliya Loney

Saturn Street started with two friends who trusted each other and decided to turn their shared taste into something real.

Founded by Alex Chicas and Aliya Loney, Saturn Street launched at the end of April 2024, right as they were graduating college. Their first street market followed in May, and what began as a short runway into vending quickly became the thing they kept coming back to. They had plans to move to Spain that same year, and they did, but the markets had already done their work. They met people who returned. They found regulars who remembered their racks. They realized this was more than a quick project.

Both Alex and Aliya have different personal styles, and Saturn Street lives in the overlap between them. It is women’s thrift with a clear point of view, but not a single era. Their rebrand reflects that shift. They recently wiped their Instagram and began rebuilding the page to match what Saturn Street is becoming now. Tighter. More intentional. More focused on the pieces that feel like them.

That focus is shaped by new knowledge too. Aliya is earning her master’s in fashion marketing, and that perspective is now part of the sourcing process. Together, they built mood boards, talked through silhouettes, and started sourcing with a stronger story in mind. They still prioritize quality, but now they also ask where a piece came from. They consider whether it is true vintage and whether it fits the vibe they are building.

Amidst all this, community is still the point. Saturn Street is not chasing every market. They care about energy. They have walked away from events that paid well because the environment did not feel right. Their favorite part is the repeat customers, the relationships, and the conversations that turn a booth into a space.

The business itself is a balance. Both are full-time students with full-time jobs. They live about an hour apart in Maryland. That means decisions come with logistics, schedule checks, and real compromise. The advantage is trust. They have known each other since middle school, and honesty comes easily, even when it is blunt.

For the January 17 Women’s Market, Saturn Street is showing what the rebrand means in real time. Curated pieces. Clear direction. A community that is growing with them.
