Buying presents is hard at any time of the year, but during Christmas it becomes an exercise in tinsel-covered despair. You can however, alleviate your gift-buying anxiety somewhat by attending the Collins Place Design Market.
Featuring more than 60 artists, designers and makers the market carefully curates its line-up to showcase the best creatives from Melbourne and Victoria. Confirmed stallholders include:
Tinka the label
Upmarket bohemian style jewellery with a big focus on natural colours, materials and chunky semi-precious stones. Tinka makes jewellery that is equal parts music festival and black tie.
Sprinkles Spice and Everything Iced
This Mornington Peninsula baker makes lushly decorated cakes and cupcakes in almost every flavour imaginable. Perfect for the person you forgot to buy for.
Cobb Lane Bakery
This artisan bakery is your go-to for rustic, hearty breads, sandwiches and delectable sweet pastry treats.
Naked Bamboo Clothing
Want to support local designers, buy sustainable and buy high-quality, well-designed basics that feel great? Naked Bamboo ticks all those boxes – the team say their T-shirts are so comfortable, you'll definitely want to keep your clothes on.
In addition to the handpicked list of merchants Collins Place Design Market will also host a pop-up bar from noon, ensuring you remain jolly throughout your shopping.
The Collins Place Design Market is open for one day only on Friday, December 14 between 10am-6pm.
