Finders Keepers Spring/Summer 2019

Overview

If you're starting to feel like a new season hasn't truly started until Finders Keepers has come to town, you're not alone. The ever-expanding art and design market has been bringing us face-to-face with some of the country's most quirky and creative designers for over a decade now — and it's set to do it all over again when it returns this November.

The focus remains, as ever, on helping you discover and connect with the next wave of independent and emerging artisans. Expect to find debut collections from the likes of Brisbane-based jewellery maker Sinead Buckney, Sticks + Stones, The Label's sustainable fashion and hand painted canvas bags from McKenzie HOUSE.

The Finders Keepers Artist Program, an initiative that was introduced last year to support emerging artists, will highlight the spring/summer recipient Mosey Me's bright, abstract designs across all market collateral for the season.

Many of the market's seasoned vendors will also return — so, if you've been kicking yourself since last round that you didn't pick up a Posie candle, some Eco Intimates lingerie or one of Bridget Bodenham's mugs, you're in luck.

As usual, there'll be live music and other entertainment scattered across the weekend to keep the good vibes going. And you're covered when the inevitable shopping-induced hunger strikes, with everything from empanadas to gelato on offer.

Tickets are $5, available at the door and valid for the entire weekend. So, if you can't stop thinking about that one thing you didn't buy, you can make a return visit. Start creating your shopping list now and head to the Finders Keepers directory to see the full scope of vendors.

Finders Keepers Spring/Summer Brisbane will run from November 8–10 at 12pm–9pm on Friday and 9am–5pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
