An entirely fresh concept in Marketland; a curated collection of local designers and makers’ whose products complement the venue and occasion. While the concept is new, the team behind it is not: Melbourne market royalty Danielle Bamford and Tui Lyon, the ladies from the North Melbourne Market which ran for six years before morphing into Melbourne's Mystery Market. Known for fostering a breeding ground of creative talent, this team is on top of Melbourne's who's who-list of the crafty and creative.
The exciting evolution to Melbourne’s Mystery Market has enabled them to collaborate with different venues around Melbourne to produce large scale exciting events. The new format delivers a stronger focus on creating interactive components for visitors to take part in.
Thread Den’s philosophy is to treat The Market as an incubator for independent brands, small labels, creative makers and artisans to sell their amazing wares. The bulk of stall holders are local fashion and accessory labels, with a strong smattering of vintage, handmade craft, super kawaii goodies, yummy treats throughout and hand-made oddities you’ve never imagined. Stall holder criteria ensures everything must Australian designed, locally handmade, vintage or fair-trade.
There’s no need to walk around this season dressed as drab as the winter weather. A quick fix to this problem is a pit stop at Melbourne's Mystery Market. Over 50 Melbourne makers will be gathered in Federation Square’s Atrium, including local labels Lauren & Angie, Lavallier, Mary Wong, and Fizzy Pop. This one may be packed with a few surprises, but one thing you can always count on is the excellent variety of designs to get you through the cold with a bit of style.
