Suitcase Rummage – the mini-scaled market where stallholders lug their goods for sale in suitcases – will make its way to Warwick’s iconic Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival on Saturday 25 July.
Suitcase stallholders are invited to register through the official Suitcase Rummage website at www.suitcaserummage.com.au.
Whether it be vintage knick-knacks, home-made arts and crafts or even cookery and second hand clothing – the more creative and the more wacky, the better. Suitcase Rummage is a colourful addition to Warwick’s much-loved, 10 day Jumpers and Jazz in July festival.
Suitcase Rummage creators Isabel FitzGerald and Daniele Constance originally coined the idea while chatting over a cup of tea.
“Suitcase Rummage is aimed at supporting emerging artists, crafters and second-hand marketeers and focuses on fostering Australia’s entry-level entrepreneurs and their locally produced handmade,
recycled and up-cycled products – from a suitcase,” says Isabel.
“We’ve seen lots of incredible goods sold through Suitcase Rummage such as an adult sized cow costume, retro style cake stand constructed using old records, exquisite handmade frocks and stationery, hand-felted heart brooch, handmade plants in old cake tins and tea pots and hand-crafted soy candles.”
“Mass-produced is definitely taboo and not allowed at Suitcase Rummage as our buyers are usually avid thrift or vintage shoppers and admirers of arts and crafts,” she said.
Since kicking off in Brisbane in 2010, Suitcase Rummage has become renowned for its colourful bazaar-like market atmosphere and is now staged in Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, Gold Coast and
festivals around Australia.
Suitcase Rummage stallholder places are limited so potential suitcase stallholders are encouraged to register quickly.
This year, the Suitcase Rummage team brings you the ‘Crafternoon’. Visit their vintage caravan and settle in for an afternoon of crafts and crochet.
