East Is East Night Market

Overview

Get more boutique for your buck at East Is East Night Market, launching on Thursday, July 18, at Darlinghurst's TAP Gallery and continuing weekly.

The new nocturnal bazaar, like its older daytime sister ‘East Is East Boutique Markets, will focus on locally handmade goods with a wallet-friendly price point. Shoppers can confidently flash their $100 note and know that everything within sight is also within buying power. However, this time around, founder Liz Raleigh is also chucking vintage goods (oh, and a bar) into the mix. It's like Throwback Thursdays, but in real life, with wine.

Doors will burst open at 6.30pm, but get down earlier because the first 30 bodies through the door will receive a Market Goodie bag, featuring awesome free stuff from the likes of Etsy goddess Seventh Tree Soaps, graphic-tee king Uncle Fritz, bespoke Bondi eco-jeweller Holly Lolly Legs and vintage-clothiers Annie Lou's Closet.

With nothing imported or mass-produced, your purchases will not only support local creators but also grant you bragging rights because of your 'mad unique style'. Which is what life is all about, really.
