Second Life Markets: Designer Edition
Pick up pre-loved and upcycled designer clothes at this beloved seasonal market.
Overview
Sydneysiders love a market, especially one where you can revamp your wardrobe. There's nothing like finding that new 'fit for your next night out. There's the thrill of searching through the racks to stumble upon the piece. Plus, shopping secondhand and upcycled clothing is more sustainable than buying your clothes new. That's why the Second Life Markets have become such a hit, not only in Sydney, but across the country.
The beloved get-together of stallholders is back in the Harbour City on Saturday, March 16, but this time it's mixing things up, partnering with Machine Hall Precinct for a day dedicated to designer vintage threads.
If you're after a Dexter Wong piece from the 90s, 2001 Stella McCartney, a throwback Balenciaga chimney jacket or a terracotta Acne Studios denim set, this is the place to be. You can wander through pop-ups from vintage curators including Qurated, KOT-J, Filter Store, Mari Maria, Feeber Archive and Sybistro, stumbling upon your next statement piece to impress your friends with.
There will also be DJ sets from KUTA, PEA OH MA and Matthias. And, there will be food and drink stalls so that you can stay well-fed and browse with a bev in hand.
The market will run from 12–6pm. The cost of entry varies but is $21 max and, in the sustainable spirit of the market, it's asked that you bring your own reusable shopping bags with you on the day.
If you want to make a day out of it, there are plenty of quality spots to grab lunch before or a drink and dinner after you shop (if you don't spend all your hard-earned on cute outfits). Our local picks are 'Oti, Palazzo Salato, Cantina OK! or Cash Only Diner, depending on what you're after.
