Join us for a unique and eco-friendly shopping experience at the September Upcycled Clothing Market & Swap! Held on the fourth Saturday of every second month, this vibrant event celebrates sustainable fashion, where you will find guality, used or one-of-a-kind upcycled garments, shoes, bags, accessories, and more. There's plenty to do on the day with a range of activities for the whole family.
Book a Stall:
Do you have quality pre-loved clothing and accessories that deserve a second chance? Book a stall at our market and sell your gently used items to a community that values sustainable fashion. This is a great opportunity to declutter your wardrobe, share your unique finds, and connect with others who appreciate high-quality, second-hand fashion. Join us in making sustainable choices stylish and accessible!
Book your stall and we will collect your $10 on the day (cash or card) 100% of the proceeds to MakerSpace as a fundraiser.
