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. With dates confirmed for both a winter and spring event, we can't wait to shop up a storm.
The winter line-up will feature visual artists like Alejandro Lauren, Irina Nazarova and Oh Jessica Jessica; ceramicists like Alessia E Art and Public Holiday; jewellery makers like Peppy Chappette, Mecino and Coral Covey; and clothing brands like Frske, Quirkie Su and Amble. 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 winter event kicks off on Friday, July 12, and the spring event is locked in for October 11.
