My wrap of the recent Melbourne Spring edition of independent Australian design market, The Finders Keepers.
I guess I'd better start this post by saying I was lucky enough to join the
Finders Keepers team earlier this year!
If you've never been before, the Finders Keepers host festival-style markets that support Australian designers and makers - so naturally, it's right up my alley AND it fits in with the Shift ethos of shopping small and local, supporting handmade, knowing (and meeting!) who made your things, and slowing our consumption to quality over quantity. Phew!
Here's a few snaps of some of my favourite stalls from the recent Melbourne event - you can find a
full directory of the stallholders online.
