Brisbane's Biggest Clothing Garage Sale 2020
Head to Paddington for a huge treasure trove of vintage finds.
Overview
Whether you're looking for something on a budget, or you're after the best vintage fare, there's nothing like trawling through other people's wares. Forget your regular old household clear-outs, trash and treasure markets, outlet sales and car boot offerings though — Brisbane's biggest clothing garage sale is back again.
When it ran pre-pandemic, we're not sure whether that size had been officially confirmed. Post-lockdowns, the event will be a bit smaller, featuring 15 sellers per event rather than its usual 33. Still, it'll keep delivering a massive array of sartorial bits and pieces — taking over Bizzell's Garage on Latrobe Terrace from 10am–3pm on Saturday, July 25. Prepare to arrive with shopping on your mind and leave with a full basket.
Prices vary, as will condition, but expect to pay anywhere from $1 to over $100 for clothes, swimwear, shoes, accessories, denim, leather items and jewellery. Brands spanning the sporty likes of Adidas and Puma, the upmarket style of of Burberry, and the street cred of FILA and Calvin Klein will all be on offer. And, if you want to add a few plants to your home garden — including succulents — you'll find greenery on sale too, as well as DVDs, records and books as well.
