Anyone can sell at our markets, from wardrobe clear outs with your friends, right through to established businesses.
Apply to be a stallholder:
Step 1 - Choose which market
We host markets across the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay regions, and each location has its own feel and audience. While everyone is welcome and you’ll find a mix of styles at every market, this guide gives a general overview of what each location is known for.
Wellington City:
Here we find the most varied mix of styles, generations and trends. From classic vintage through to Y2K.
There tends to be an even mix of wardrobe clearouts and resellers/businesses.
Shoppers range from bargain hunters to those who drop a few hundy for that classic, statement piece.
Lower Hutt:
Although this location also covers a wide variety of shoppers, it's a slightly safer version than Wellington.
With slightly more wardrobe clearouts than resellers, general pricing overall is slightly cheaper.
Shoppers love a bargain, but will spend more time browsing every stall.
Upper Hutt - Fashion Fest:
A large, fashion event celebrating style and sustainability, bringing together some of the best fashion and creative services in the region.
We hand-pick most vendors to ensure a mix of current trends, timeless classics, and everything in between, creating a festival-style experience.
Alongside fashion, you’ll find piercings, braiding, tooth gems, jewellery workshops, custom air-brushed clothing, and permanent jewellery.
Porirua:
With free entry and set in the atrium of a busy food court, these events attract a wide mix of shoppers, many come for the food and stay for the fashion. Although this is still a relatively new space for us, our goal is to develop it into a regular, anticipated community event.
We welcome all styles and sizes, with a focus on increasing street fashion and plus-size items at this location.
Kapiti:
Always a well-attended quarterly event, this market is our most reliable for a wide range of stalls.
We get similar shoppers to Lower Hutt with more wardrobe clearouts than resellers, and general pricing overall is slightly cheaper.
Shoppers love a bargain, but will stay for longer to browse more stalls.
Hawke's Bay:
Another staple of our events. She's been through a few different venues, but will always generate a good crowd with a wide variety of items.
We consistently see the top sales of any event here. So people love to shop!
From Y2K through to timeless classics and everything in between, this is a great overall event for most people.
