Why it's worth checking out
Listed in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane, Young Designers Market is a showcase for emerging creators aged 30 and under. Its stalls span fashion, jewellery, home design, prints and other handmade work, giving shoppers the chance to browse distinctive pieces designed by the people selling them.
The market began in 2007 as a platform for Australia’s developing design talent and has supported promising designers as they build their careers. The website describes an up-market setting with around 40 designers, where creatives sell directly to the public. That makes it a useful stop for shoppers looking beyond standard retail and interested in finding new labels and less conventional designs.
Featured designers include DINJUAN, known for African-inspired prints; Brisbane-based maker Kirsten Bailey of Love Lava Living, whose work includes hand-crafted home and fashion accessories with a focus on indigo dyeing; and Stugan by Garvstrom, a husband-and-wife team producing handmade sustainable homewares. The market should suit solo browsers and groups who enjoy discovering independent design, though the website currently lists its next market at Bondi Park, Bondi Beach, with dates still to be announced, so check the latest details before visiting.
