Overview

Pre-loved fashion sales tick two pivotal boxes: helping add new items to your closet in a sustainable way, and also letting you pass on the threads that you're no longer wearing to someone else to make the most of. You don't have to participate in both sides of the equation, of course. So when a secondhand fashion pop-up takes over Rocklea's weekly Saturday Fresh Market on Saturday, May 31, you can just buy or just sell (if you book a stall in advance).

The event: Closet Cleanout, which is running from 6am–12pm to see out May and also end autumn. The market's usual range of fresh produce, food and other goods will still be on offer, but it'll add a fashion focus for the day.

Reducing fashion waste, plus celebrating and supporting eco-conscious shopping, are among Closet Cleanout's aims. Not just buying and selling but swapping is also on the agenda. Clothes, shoes, accessories: they're all covered, as are designer pieces, vintage items and everything in-between.

For those heading along to browse, entry to the Saturday Fresh Market costs $2 per person, or $6 with parking.
