World’s biggest thrift fashion market is coming to Wales
Nation.Cymru staff
Calling all fashion lovers – the world’s biggest Thrift Fashion Market is coming to Wales with thousands of preloved and vintage clothing items and local brands for sale.
Staged by the Fashion Thrift Society – their global tour rolls into the Depot, Cardiff on Sunday September 20, from 11am – 5pm.
Organisers say: ‘Touring 25+ cities across six countries including Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, Fashion Thrift Society brings together the best in vintage, pre-loved and independent fashion under one roof. This is where the mainstream comes to shop secondhand.
‘Each event features hundreds of curated sellers, from vintage collectors to emerging slow-fashion labels, offering unique pieces you won’t find anywhere else.
‘But FTS is more than just shopping. Our legendary installation bar features tattoos, piercings, tooth gems, grills, nail manicures, permanent jewellery, henna, aura and tarot readings, custom photo booths and jewellery-making pop-ups. You can get a fresh cut or blow wave at our hair stations, dig through vinyl at the record hub and vibe to all-day DJ sets from emerging artists.
‘Grab something tasty from our food trucks or unwind with a drink at the 18+ pop-up bar, all inside a buzzing, inclusive space built on community, creativity and culture.’
