Portopeli

Overview

For a long weekend activity on the luxe end of the scale, head down to the launch of Portopeli at Pelicano, a new monthly event transforming the Double Bay venue’s Cote d’Azur-inspired surroundings into a fashion and homewares market. These folk are taking their wildly rich grown-up house-party vibe to new heights, giving Sydneysiders the chance to shop the closets of stylists, designers, bloggers and people who know what to do with scarves.

At this inaugural do, snoop through the pre-loved wardrobes of stylists and Instagrammers Everybody Knows Mars and Maia Liakos. There’ll also be new items from Aitken & Co, Cinzia handmade ballet slippers, Santos Wish and Sydney Fragrance Co, as well as vintage and contemporary threads from the likes of Zimmerman, Sass and Bide and Isabel Marant.

After all that, you’ll probably need a pick-me-up. Choose from Pelicano’s full modern Pacific food and drink menu, or stop by their pop-up Bloody Mary Bar. Just don’t spill your tomato juice on anything white, and you’ve got this.
