BrisStyle Indie Mother and Child Market

Overview

Even with the tirade of articles stating that the hipster is dead, it still seems to be very much alive and kicking in slow-to-catch-on Brisbane. It’s all very well and easy for Gen Y to encompass this vegan, frugal, beard-growing, upcycling, bicycling ‘lifestyle’ (or at least pretend you do), but what we tend to forget is that the Gen X-ers before us were doing all of that way before it was cool to do it.

Their interests remain the same, they just have a little more responsibility now. Responsibilities like houses and jobs and children. Although that may sound a little daunting, in my opinion, having a miniature version of yourself just means an opportunity to create perfect hipster spawn!

Luckily for any vintage-and-handmade-collecting mums (and dads) who reside in Brisbane, next Saturday will be the next installment of the BrisStyle Indie Mother and Child Market. With a wide array of both child and hipster friendly wares for sale, the day sounds like a perfect opportunity to see and be seen.

As the icing on the cake, this particular weekend will be held in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation with the entire street to be decked out in various shades of pink. In conjunction with the Racecourse Road Business Group, Chicks in Pink are also aiming to set a world record for the largest set of (human made) boobs and they need your help! So dress in pink and head to Hamilton for a good cause.
