Brisbane Indie Sale Trail

Overview

Fancy a spot of Saturday shopping, but not sure where to go or what to buy? The solution: think independent. While that might be great all-round advice for supporting local business, it's also the specific idea behind the Brisbane Indie Sale Trail.

Taking place from 9am to 4pm on February 24, it's a simple way to throw your love behind — and cash towards — Brissie's ace small stores. It's also a great way to get a discount, with shoppers nabbing a percentage off their purchases that grows with each stop (as long as you spend at least $20). And, it's basically the adult version of a treasure hunt, given that you'll hop around town and look for whatever delights tempt your wallet.

Five retailers are taking part: onegirlstudio, Paper boat press, Nook, Green Tangerine and Scrumptious Reads, meaning that everything from homewares to ceramics to clothes to reading material is covered. As is much of this town of ours, with the full trail seeing participants flitting from Ashgrove to West End and even out to Sherwood.
