In My Closet, Shepparton’s used clothing market is back for its spring edition, the final instalment for this year.

There will be more than 30 stalls selling various pre-loved clothing for all bodies, including babies and children, as well as shoes, accessories and jewellery.

The market is the brainchild of fashion-forward locals Aline Davies and Hilary Grigg.

The pair encourages both sellers and shoppers to recycle fashion to help combat the waste and emissions modern-day fast fashion creates.

On top of helping to look after the planet, buying second-hand eases the financial burden that buying quality goods often brings.

“This is our last market for 2024, so we hope lots of people come to check it out,” Ms Grigg said.

While coffee vendor Evangeline House Coffee Van and Filipino food truck Nanna Marce will have Eftpos facilities, the market stallholders will be accepting cash only, so shoppers are encouraged to bring money and their own bags or baskets for their purchases.

The market will be held at The McIntosh Centre, Shepparton Showgrounds, on Sunday, October 20 from 9am to 2pm.

A gold coin for entry will be donated to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
