Second Life Markets: Winter
Your new favourite wardrobe item is hiding at this much-hyped Darlinghurst 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 second-hand and upcycled clothing is more sustainable than buying your clothes new.
If all of the above sounds relatable, head to the Second Life Markets when the popular pop-up returns to Darlinghurst on Sunday, August 20.
The event will host 100 stalls boasting vintage, second-hand and upcycled clothing and span all ranges of clothes with masculine, feminine and gender-neutral pieces all on offer. Nab a Prada purse, vintage Carhartts or a pre-loved 90s tee.
The Second Life Markets run successful quarterly events across Sydney, Perth and Melbourne — with lines around the Darlinghurst block whenever they hit Sydney. The seasonal events bring together local sellers and independent designers, as well as a heavy dose of good vibes. There's DJs providing the soundtrack and Haven Coffee on-site to provide your morning caffeine fix.
The market will run from 10am–3pm. The cost of entry varies but is $11 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 after you shop (if you don't spend all your hard earned on cute outfits). Our local picks are Bloodhound, Sandotichi and Chaco Ramen.
