Sydney Markets, Shopping for Bargains
On weekends, a number of the Sydney suburbs, including the beachside ones, have market stalls. Offering hand made crafts and goods, clothing, art work, odd and interesting unique Australian souvenirs and much more for the weekend browser.
Sydney’s Star Studded Market Stalls
You can also find fashion’s next big thing and colours at one of Sydney’s colourful suburban markets - indeed, the humble market stall is where many of our home-grown Sydney fashion stars have begun their careers.
Its where trendsetters go to look for unique ideas (and where the rich and famous head when they are in town!) and places where you can keep your eye out for up and coming Sydney designs and their designers on the rise to fashion fame.
