Creative cookies, rejoice! The Finders Keepers Melbourne Design Market is back at the Royal Exhibition Building from July 10-12, bringing together more than 200 independent designers and makers for a three-day celebration of thoughtfully made, beautifully designed goods.
For 18 years, this market has been where emerging talent breaks through, limited-edition pieces disappear in a flash and design lovers get first dibs on what will surely be trending on Insta.
As always, you’re in for a treat. Stallholders have everything from handcrafted ceramics, small-batch nibbles and eclectic fashion to homewares, unique jewellery and art, plus drinks and snacks you won’t find anywhere else. It's your one-stop shop for all things crafty and tasty, so bring your friends, bring your family.
New this year, the Dining Room presents Taqueria, a Mexican-inspired feast by Dingo Ate My Taco, paired with resident pours from Fin Wines, Sailors Grave Brewing and Meet Gertrude. There’s also The Finders Bottle-Oh! – a playful twist on the classic bottle-o featuring locally made drinks to take home.
Got a sweet tooth? Make a beeline to the Sweet Spot for some decadent desserts (plus coffee). For a change of pace, head to the Change Room to try on fashion and hear the stories and inspiration behind the pieces.
Add in the chance to win a Peachi chair by Grumpi (valued at $469), and you’ve got a winter weekend that blends design, food and ideas in one very good-looking package.
Kids under 13 enjoy free entry, otherwise it costs $7 (or $10 for a weekend pass), which can be bought at the door cashless, or online here.
