If you are one of the many who has sampled the delights of the website
Etsy, you will understand how exciting it is that Etsy now has a presence in the physical world, through the
BrisStyle Indie markets. (If you have never heard of, visited or explored the world of Etsy, I urge you to do so right now.)
BrisStyle, as described on the
website, "is a cooperative group of talented Australian artists, crafters and artisans who call the Brisbane area home…who understand that little shiver of excitement that comes from producing handmade goods". As one who understands the shiver of excitement that comes from buying handmade goods, I can tell you that the markets created by the BrisStyle team are the best places to find all things unique and beautiful.
The BrisStyle Indie Markets are split into four different categories (the names pretty much speak for themselves):
BrisStyle Indie Designers Market,
BrisStyle Indie Twilight Markets,
BrisStyle Indie Mother and Child Markets and
BrisStyle Indie Eco Markets. All four markets showcase a huge array of goods, from headwear to footwear, handbags to gladrags and everything in between.
They are held sporadically throughout the year, so check the website for all the dates, or subscribe to the BrisStyle newsletter to make sure you are kept in the loop. If you are interested in filling your life with beautiful stuff, you do not want to miss these markets.
