There's nothing quite like the joy that comes with some retail therapy, especially when you’re supporting local artisans and mindful makers at Finders Keepers. This year, the massive design and art market will feature more than 250 stalls selling everything from slow fashion and jewellery to homewares and stationery. We can't wait to shop up a storm.
The spring line-up will feature visual artists like Alejandro Lauren, Irina Nazarova and Oh Jessica Jessica; ceramicists like Alessia E Art and Clumsy Clay; jewellery makers like Dear Keepsake, Mecino and Emma Field; and clothing brands like Frske, Quirkie Su and the Only Label.
Also in attendance is Thirsty Turtl, this season's Indigenous Program recipient. The brand works with First Nations farmers to source their plant ingredients in an effort to improve Australia's biodiversity and elevate Indigenous culture.
Plus, there'll be plenty of yummy food and drink options to ensure you're fuelled for optimal browsing of all the fabulous stalls.
The market will take place at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton, and entry is just $6 (free for kids under 13). The spring event is locked in for October 11-13. Find out more here.
