The market is the brainchild of Sanja Hanekom who said it is designed to promote sustainability, upcycling and the importance of reusing in our community.
“The market will showcase a wide range of unique items, including second-hand/vintage clothing, collectors’ items, accessories and repurposed goods. Thrifting is not only enjoyable but also beneficial to our society,” explained Hanekom.
Hanekom said the community is welcome, not only to shop but to participate in this movement of upcycling, as well. “It has already garnered an overwhelming response from vendors, not only in our area but also from the wider region already. We are truly thrilled about the enthusiasm.
