The Finders Keepers



Basically, The Finders Keepers is a bi-annual art and design market that enforces LOCAL designers, artists and musicians and "contemporary" design, as opposed what you would find in Superdry (a shirt for $80 that cost $2 to make in China?). It's held over a period of 2 days (Friday and Saturday) and has a "festival"-(live music) feel to it. It's an expo that showcases the new and emerging designers of Australia. It's original and it's a change from the pretentious market that people are exposed to nowadays.
I am very excited for this event, I expect three types of people to show up.
1) The grannys that have the most experience because they've been attending design markets and car boots their whole lives.
2) The middle-aged women that need a new project to keep themselves/kids busy.
3) The young people that are into florals and cool pieces of decor. The ones that are sick of the "brand" labels that dominate the market, this including of course, moir.

Quick pictures from the site of their previous markets. Time to start saving up some $$$$$
